It’s a Boy!
While not technically his first photo, it is the first one where he doesn’t look like a tadpole. He’s facing the camera and laying on his right side. This was the first picture the ultrasound technician took today. Not even born yet and already a show off. I’ve NO idea who he gets that from.
So many people we’ve talked to say they knew that their baby was a boy or a girl before this stage. Honestly, we had no clue. I have occasionally slipped and said “he” instead of “it”, but I wouldn’t have bet one way or the other.
The good news is that everything looks fine. He has all of the appendages he should have and nothing more or less. They did say he was a little chubby, and in the 90% percentile as far as size goes. Maria and I were both fat little babies, so I don’t see any reason he won’t be too (sorry, Maria).
We don’t have a name yet. We’ve bounced around several of them and not settled on anything. You think I’m joking when I say I want “Danger” to be his middle name. When push comes to shove (labor pun intended), I’m not sure Maria will let that one pass. Still, I can lobby for it!
