I know that thus far I have pretty much taken a back seat in terms of actually contributing posts for our blog, but today is a good day as any to change that.
Today we found out that we're having a boy. Yep a boy. For some strange reason I had made an initial guess and thought that it might be a girl but I'm pleasantly surprised that its a boy. I think Ghee had a feeling all along that it was going to be a boy but she wasn't going to play my guessing game. Looks like I'm going to have a little buddy to play with. As soon as I heard the words "Its a boy" I had a flurry of images of building legos, soccer, rough housing, flying rc airplanes, building tree-forts, riding bikes and all those other things that boys and their dads like to do.
I'm going to have to make mention of the amazing advances in technology that Ghee and I witnessed first hand today. Today was our full anatomy scan at the UW Medical Center and it was really state of the art. They used a PHILIPS HD11 ultrasound machine which is in reality a small supercomputer on wheels and measured practically all possible key indicators.jpg)
of health. It was truly a miracle of modern science and medicine being demonstrated to us.

of health. It was truly a miracle of modern science and medicine being demonstrated to us. They measured the baby's kidneys, adrenal glands, checked his spine, measure arms, legs, brain, heart. The detail that this machine provides is amazing. My jaw just dropped at how thorough they are at the UW. Of course we are also really fortunate to have I think the best doctor in this region Dr. Zane Brown. He is one of those doctors who reassures you by just talking to you. There's something to be said about exuding confidence and he sure does do that.
Coming back to the baby, Ghee had a great idea yesterday and it was about names for a boy. We were pretty much set on Abigail if it was a girl but since that is now not the case we were in a quandary. Well at least from the time we went from the scan to the doctors room. We had not thought as hard about boy names as we did about girl names and we have a couple of ideas but none were as concrete as our girl ideas. But as of yesterday I think we've got two likely contenders. Both are names we like. One is an old biblical name and one is a newer variation of an old biblical name. I'm not telling what they both are yet but I guess Ghee and I have a lot of thinking to do over the next 4.5 months.
Based on how many times he was twisting and turning in his mommy's womb, I think he's going to be like Ghee. Excited and full of energy and always moving around. That's the first impression I got of him. His profile is pretty cute and we saw his nose, lips and he even had his mouth open for us while we were observing him. I'll post the pictures as soon as I get them scanned.
