Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails...

...that's what my little boy is made of.

No, wait, what the hell are snips anyway?

Yes, IT'S A BOY!

90% of the people who predicted the sex of the baby said that it was going to be a girl. Dave and I had dreams of little baby girls. I did all those superstitious tests that is supposed to guess the sex of the baby - a girl. All the signs pointed to us having a girl.

But, there was no denying what was in between those legs.

Of course, when we were at our first ultrasound and he pointed out what he called 'the family jewels' I had to look really hard, and when he pointed it on screen, I remarked - "Really? They're so tiny!"

To which Dave scolded me, "Christine! We're taping this! He might watch it someday!"

When I went to get my 'official' ultrasound done yesterday, they looked much bigger. It was pretty much obvious that it was a boy.

The ultrasound itself was pretty cool. The baby was hiding his head most of the time (it's nice to finally use a pronoun to describe the baby) but we got some great shots. Since he's already been kicking for the last several weeks, I got verification that yes, it is kicking and not gas when I'd feel the kick and seem him move around in the ultrasound.

It was also verified that this little guy is on his way to being a big little guy. I hope he doesn't get too huge because that could cause some complications during the birth.

So yes, everyone, you can now rest easy this holiday season knowing that my baby is a boy!

How exciting -- congratulations! You're the first friend to have a boy for first child. Sounds like he's going to be a real bouncing baby boy, as they say. Merry Christmas!

btw, have you already been thinking of names? are you going to put up a poll? even though it's up to you and Dave, it's always fun to have your blog readers guess.
