....It's a boy!

There was no doubt in the ultrasound tech's mind, or in ours for that matter.  And he loves to kick lately!  I can see his little feet trying to break out. 

He weighed about 11 oz a few weeks ago, so by now he might be in the 1-pound range.  Amazing!

We saw him sucking his fingers, which reminded us of when we saw Jane try and succeed to get her thumb on her 19-week ultrasound. 

Jane came with us for this one, but we still don't think she understands that there is a baby hiding in there.  She is fascinated by my belly-button, though.  We have to get used to thinking of ourselves as parents of a boy now, too!

We are still searching for the perfect name.  We're looking for something classic, not too common, not too trendy, not too exotic, and not hard to spell.  Easy, right?  We also want to like both the full and nickname versions of it.  Ideas are welcome!

My Writing Center colleague Lois also made awesome cupcakes with hidden blue frosting in the middle as a fun way to reveal the sex--picture forthcoming when I figure out how to upload it from my new fancy phone.
