We Have A Winner

Or should I say Wiener? That's right! Its a BOY!!! Let me back up a smidge.
We went in today hoping for, but not expecting an u/s and were more than shocked when baby kept wiggling away from the dr's doppler. She could hear the baby moving around, but couldn't get a solid heartbeat. So she gave up after a few minutes and reassured us baby is fine, but she can't get a good h/b to record. She asked if we would mind going to u/s. WELL HELL NO we don't mind! We had to wait about 15-20 mins for the room to free up across the hall (all the while I have to pee like my life depends on it) and we finally get in and the dr looks at us and says, "You guys want to find out what it is?" We both answer "If we can, of course!" So she fires it up and goops on the gel. In almost no time she finds the baby and gets a good h/b to record. Then she starts looking around to see if she can figure out what this little balled up bundle of joy is. She kept seeing the umbilical cord, but couldn't get a clear money shot. Finally she says, "Yup, 90% sure its a wiener. There's the cord and everything." She will do another u/s next time to be sure and check for measurements and the likes, but today we got to see the little worm! It even had a cute little spasm and then curled back into his ball. TOO CUTE!
And what kind of mother would I be if I didn't show off the big photo?


Not the best or most clear, but its the best I have. Basically you can see legs on either side and the umbilical cord is that brighter white thing above the top leg. In between, well, you get the picture.
Needless to say we are EXCITED beyond belief and Adam is so proud. He's so excited to be able to carry on the family name. Not to mention this is the first Great Grandson on 3 out of 4 sides of the family!
Can't wait to meet you, my little boy. Now please, be a dear and don't bounce on Mommy's bladder anymore. Its getting hard to sleep and function.
