Little baby Zogas is a....

Totally healthy baby! The ultrasound couldn't have gone better. Paula, the ultrasound tech took lots of great pictures and went over every possible detail of the baby's body. She didn't see any problems at all and said everything looks great. Here are a few shots:

We are SO excited that we are having a BOY!! I have had so many dreams that we're having a girl, but I wondered if maybe that meant it was a boy. I knew I would be so happy with either gender, I just wanted to know already! At the beginning of the exam I was worried we wouldn't get to see because the baby was crossing his legs, just as I told John that it probably would! Knowing our baby, he will do things HIS way and if he didn't want to show the goods, then he wouldn't :) But luckily halfway through the exam, Paula was near his bottom and stopped and said, "Oh! I see a scrotum!" We both laughed and John shouted, "Whoo hoo!" He was so proud. It didn't feel real to me and I said "You're joking!" I felt like I was watching a movie, and that it wasn't really happening to us! Then at the end of the exam she took a cross-section photo from the bottom up and very clearly on the screen was a tiny white little blob which she said was his penis. Suddenly everything felt more real, and I instantly began imagining our life with our son. Our little boy... Our man! OMG it's all too exciting. After the exam we made phone calls and text messages to tell the world our news, then met with Dr. Grant quickly and got to listen to the heartbeat. I told her about some round ligament & sciatic nerve pain I've been having, which she confirmed is totally normal. She said I can see a physical therapist or chiopractor if it gets really bad, so that was great to know I have options if it's ever too uncomfortable. After the doctor appointment, we swang by Presents of Mind and bought a cute little outfit and some pajamas, because we just HAD to since we knew it was a boy! It is SO wonderful to finally know so we can pick out clothes and crib bedding and all sorts of fun things... For our son :) Yay!!
