Big Baby News!

I had an ultrasound today. We were expecting to just hear the heartbeat and see a picture of the baby, but the OB clinic just got brand new equipment and were able to see EVERYTHING. Including our son's boy parts. Yep, we're having another boy. I guess there's always a chance it could be a girl and that blip between his legs was just some random, matter floating around in there, but the Dr. was fairly confident.
We don't have a scanner, so I'm afraid these pictures of pictures are horrible quality. You may have to use your imagination a little. The first picture on the right is looking down on the baby's front. His head is the round part on the right and then the other 4 white parts are his limbs. This picture is particularly cute (if you could see it in greater detail like we can), because you can very distinctly see his 5 little toes on what appears to be his right foot.
The picture on the left is his not-so-subtle boy parts. We are looking up from underneath him. The big round part it his bottom. The two pointy things on either side are his legs, and the round thing in the middle is the "goods".
We are more than thrilled to have another boy. Positives: It'll be fun to dress our "Irish twins" alike sometimes. We already have almost everything we need. I already know how to take care of a boy. I'm sure they will be best of friends (and worst of enemies on occasion). More trips to the ER, but less attitude. And much, much more!
I decided to put a belly picture on here for good measure. If it appears a little misshapen, it just because of my shirt. Also, I lost about 2 lbs in the last couple of days because I contracted the virus that Mike, and Ezra and just about everyone else here has had. It wasn't pleasant.
Anyway, this definitely means we are NOT finished having babies (as if there was any doubt). If we ever have a girl, she will have at least two older brothers to watch out for her. Watch out potential suitors!
