It’s A Boy!

Yesterday Holly and I paid a visit to the doctor to find out the gender of our unborn baby.  As we suspected, we’ll be having another boy.  He appears to be developing very well and is still scheduled to join us in mid-January.  Alex and Hannah are both very excited to get a little brother.  Emma, not so much.  I’m sure she’ll come around though.

Unfortunately we didn’t get any pictures of the ultrasound but I can assure you that he has one head, two brain halves, a spine, at least one arm, at least one leg, and a “boy part”.  Surprisingly, that was all very clear to identify for my untrained eyes.  Normally when we see the ultrasound image, it’s just a bunch of gray and black.  If I’m lucky, I can sometimes see the heart but that’s only because it’s rhythmically beating.  Yesterday, it was as if I had spent the last 20 years looking at ultrasound images because everything was easily identifiable and very clear.  It was very cool.

12 Weeks

Baby Zohner at 12 WeeksHolly had her three month checkup today.  Her doctor is a big fan of ultrasounds to monitor the health and development of the baby so, like usual, Holly came home with a new picture.  Both Holly and the baby are doing well.  The baby is still due to arrive in mid-January and we’re still hoping that it comes a few weeks early.  December 30th works well for me.

We deiceded to tell the kids about the new arrival over the weekend.  They seem to be excited, and seeing picutres of their unborn sibling only adds to that excitement. Hannah was so excited to show me the picture that instead of saying something like “It’s what’s in Mommy’s tummy.” she said “It’s what’s in the baby’s tummy.”  I’m not sure if she doesn’t understand what the photo is or if her excitement just impaired her ability to convey what she was thinking.  Either way, it was pretty funny.
