And the Baby is.....

A Boy!!!! We had our ultrasound this morning and learned that we will be welcoming Benjamin David into our family, and maybe a little earlier than expected. Besides learning that we are having a boy we also learned that he is further along than they thought and his new due date is July 4 - maybe he will come in with a bang! The Radiologist said that he looked healthy and there wasn't anything to be worried about which is good news. We saw his little heart pumping away, we saw his brain, arms, legs, face and his little boy parts several times. He wasn't shy at all about letting us know that he was a boy. Near the end of the ultrasound he crossed his legs and put his hands together as if he were saying a prayer. It was super cute! The Radiologist also said that my plancenta was low and close to the cervix but didn't seem to be over it so I shouldn't need a c-section. Which is good, after watching c-sections on a Baby Story it makes me nervous to have one (of course I would if I needed to). They just look so painful and gross. On a lighter note now we can start getting him some cute outfits and looking for a suit to have him blessed in. We are excited and blessed to have him join our family and can't wait to meet him in person and watch him grow into a young man.
