Theultrasoundwasgood Itsaboy

We got the ultrasound yesterday to determine the baby's gender and overall health. First of all, I've got to say that the poor boy was doubled over and looked really cramped. This isn't to say that Cyndi's womb is anything other than phenomenal, I'd just never realized how cramped the babies actually were.

Everything looks good so far. The spine was present, we saw some things that the nurse assured us were thigh bones, and I was able to pick out that his heart has four chambers, so that's all good.

Cyndi's doing fairly well. Her stomach's still not as stable as it used to be, but she's able to eat things now and she's looking more and more beautiful every day (ask Grandma Durney, she even said so at Thanksgiving).

I'm very lucky to have such a great wife and we're both very excited. The name we're leaning towards right now is Michael Peter Day.

P.S. The title of this blog post is a reference to an old geico commercial.

Edit: He was doing a face plant and refused to roll over, so we couldn't get a shot of his face, but here is how we knew it's a boy (he's basically sitting on the camera):

And here is a really cute one of his feet. I love this picture :)

I can't see anything human in these pictures! Though I love that it's a boy, just because I've always wanted an older brother. I may have also just bought a bunch of blue yarn...

Love the feet. Congrats on having a boy, I thik boys are a blast (if I had all boys, I'd be quite happy). But be warned: boys are harder to name, and you'll soon realize that there are one tenth the amount of cute boy clothes as girl clothes.

I love the shot of the butt cheeks. No question it's a boy! Congratulations Cyndi and Jeff. I love the name too!

I always thought ultrasounds of babies look like aliens. Those feet though; too cute! Congrats you two!
