His Face

You can see his 2 eyes, nose and mouth. The ultrasound tech said he looked like he was smiling. I said, "Yeah, because he's not being called a girl anymore!"

His Hand and Arm

If you look closely, you can also see his leg and foot

It's a Boy!

It's a boy - I'm shocked! I've been wrong before (maybe one time) but I was so sure "it" was going to be a "she." Guess not! I should have known...look at these signs I was having a boy:

• I've been strangely addicted to rap and 90's rock music (not Tori, Natasha and Fiona like usual)
• I haven't been weepy. I usually cry easily and HAVE NOT been overly emotional since becoming pregnant.
• My belly has been changing shape lately.
• If I can envision something, it usually does NOT happen. I saw myself having a girl so I should have known.
• My class predicted I was going to have a boy (10-6)...of course 5 and 6 year olds can predict correctly!
• My 14 year old brother-in-law predicted it...of course he would be able to predict correctly!
• So far all the Walsh girls have had girls, JCU girls have had boys - I guess I identify more with the JCU girls!

Ok, time to start training him to play Walsh football!

The Final Test

Yes, we've done just about every gender myth test (except the needle over the belly one) but there was only one test that would really matter...Layla! We have been trying to ask her what she thinks we're having, but it's been hard to read her. So I had two pieces of scrapbook paper, a blue one with "boy" cut out and a pink one with "girl" cut out. We showed her the two papers and asked her to pick. First she picked girl, but then I switched hands and she picked boy. We did this about 7 times. She tended to pick the one that was in my right hand mostly, but she did pick girl more. I thought she would want a boy. I figured she didn't want to share the title of "Daddy's Little Girl" with anyone else.

TOMORROW!

I cannot believe tomorrow is almost here! After our 4:40 pm appointment, I will know if I'm going to be the mommy to a boy or girl! That is just insane! I really don't have a clue as to what we're having. I've had moments when I've thought I was having either, but my girl vibe has been stronger. Regardless, after tomorrow we'll know some things for certain....

If it's a girl......

• We have some names we kinda, sort of agree on
• We will have arguments about what color to paint the baby room (Tom says NO pink)
• Tom will already start to worry about the dating years!
• Layla will have to share her princess title in the house

If it's a boy....

• I can look forward to getting peed on
• We have to start the name search - we're lost on boy names
• I can prepare for the future when my son will be the #1 pick in the NFL draft and buy me my dream house in Italy
• Baby room decorating will be MUCH easier - stars & moon or underwater themes
• Layla retains her princess title

I will post the big news as soon as I can! Stay tuned for updates!

Wanda Update #2

So after a vigorous play session, Wanda became a double amputee! Then stuffing started coming out, so I pulled it out. Then we realized we took out Wanda's voice (squeaker part). It was just stuffing and carnage everywhere! So unfortunately, I have to report that Wanda has gone to Stuffed Animal Heaven. :( She will be greatly missed....
