IT'S A BOY!!!

Lumbley and I went to the Radiologist's today while David had his job interview. I was entirely too impatient to post-pone the Ultrasound for a time that David could be there. We've had 4 Ultrasounds prior to this because we were doing fertility treatments--and that's just what they do. He is travelling a lot this week for interviews and what-not--so he was on the phone while I had slimy gook all over my tummy. (His first of many interviews went very well.)

IT'S A BOY!! We are really suprised. I thought for sure it would be a girl! I don't know why.

Better news is that the baby is very healthy and robust and has 10 fingers and 10 toes and 2 arms and 2 legs and a normal looking profile. So, between that and the pre-natal screening tests, odds are that he's a healthy, normal baby boy.

So--we're almost to the half-way mark!

Bummer about my Marimekko poppies :( I found these ones instead:

Hi Tara! Congrats on finding out it's a boy! How exciting it will be to have cousins on the Stryker side of the family!

Your blog looks great so far. It will be a great way to keep up with your family.

By the way, Ethan and I are expecting again! We are due towards the end of September. I'll keep you posted.

I knew it! I knew it! Boyz are so fun. They LURVE their mommies. Much easier diaper clean-up, too, by the way. And your new green design is gorgeous. Isaac, right? He will be spectacular and much-loved.
