It's a boy!

Clint and I found out on Wednesday that we are having a boy.  Clint was very excited, but it took me a little bit to warm up to the idea.  I was really hoping for a girl, but I'm just so happy that we have a healthy baby.  And I know it will be great to have a little boy too!  Especially if he's like Clint!  

Having the ultrasound done was really amazing.  We could see him moving around.  She even got a picture of him as he was about to put his hand in his mouth.  She also measured all different things like the size of his head and the length of his body.  She even checked things that I had never heard of.  She said she had to count how many veins were in the umbilical cord.  Apparently 3 is the magic number.  Anything less than that and the baby could be perfectly healthy but they could also potentially have serious problems.  Our baby has 3, thank God!  She also saw a tiny bit of amniotic fluid in the stomach which she said means that he knows how to swallow.  Also a very good sign.  

I feel so blessed that we have a healthy baby.  When you think about the number of things that could go wrong, it's extremely overwhelming.  Clint and I are so thankful that so far, our baby is healthy and developing normally!
