Baby Boone Sighting



Okay, We always know where Baby Boone is...but today we got to see the baby on Sonogram TV for the second time. I am glad to report that the baby is in the 50th percentile of size if its due date were ...April 11th. That's right, another bump up in the due date! Either it is growing at an exponential rate, or it is going to be one LARGE baby. At any rate, the pool for naming the baby's birth date is more uncertain than ever.

I am really starting to wish that our childbirth classes were sooner than the end of March!

What you are looking at here is a 3D ultrasound of the baby's face. You can see the nose and eye sockets, lips, forehead, and a little claw of a left hand, already in good form for playing the piano. This ultrasound wasn't as impressive a show because there is much more baby, and we can't get as much of it in the frame, but we did get smiling baby pictures this time. It was squirming around in there during, and had its left hand up the whole time, as if shy.

Chris and I could not stand the surprise anymore, so we did ask for the gender of the baby to be revealed. For all of you Grandparents who guessed BOY...let the gloating commence now! We will have some BOY-specific decisions to make right off the bat (that was not meant as a pun) so it is good we can contemplate our choice, and focus on the name too. We were going to be delighted either way, and now it is good to have a couple months of knowing.

Our friend, Ann Marie, is sorry to learn that this was her first incorrect guess out of nearly a half dozen right ones, but she is pleased to know that her future little league baseball team is filling-out nicely!
