Our son. The first look.

After a thorough and positive report of the dimensions and health of our child, the technician asked me if I wanted to know what I was having. I told him I'd was pretty sure it was a boy, he could just tell me if I was right. "You're right" he said.

Almost from the beginning I had a very strong sense I was having a son. Why? Hmm... primarily, several dreams that I indeed had a baby boy inside me, and of having a son. A son with dark hair and the same eyes that the other 3 of us share. Secondly, I've had different kinds of pregnancy symptoms this time around. Primarily, itching. On my face, neck, legs. Crazy itching and not because I'm in a dry climate either. This isn't a pregnancy symptom really, but I have lots of blotchy skin on my face with itching... and I accounted little testosterone producer floating around in my womb for that.

(the white glow is just from the scanner, though it seems like light from heaven:)
And I feel like I'm measuring about a month bigger than I was with Josie. The ultrasound did measure our son a couple days older than my due date, so he might be a bigger child. Josie always measured a couple days smaller. And here, when I saw his feet, they are Dave's feet. And arms and legs measure long. Head measures big. And abdomen, small. Seems like another Dave to me!!!

We are looking forward to meeting him in October!! I'm just over half way there in my pregnancy.
