It's a Boy!!!

Here are this pictures from our ultrasound today! Yep, it's a boy!!! And he's very healthy, happy and active!!! During the ultrasound, we saw him rolling around, kicking and even chewing! According to his measurements, he weighs about 10 ounces and has a healthy, strong heart that's beating 148 times per minute! We are very happy and relieved that everything is in the normal range. Please keep praying that things continue to go smoothly as we await the arrival of our little boy in May.

It was a close race, but the poll results are in! Out of 22 votes, 13 of you voted for a girl and the other 9 voted for a boy! Congrats to the nine voters who got it right! For those of you who were rooting for a girl, there's still a small chance. Ultrasounds are only 80% accurate in predicting these things! :)
