21 weeks: there's a naked man inside of me!

That's right. We are proud to announce: it's a boy!

First the sonogram technician gave us a tour of things I'll never want to see again: our baby's heart, brain and skeletal structure. Then she said "here are his legs and he's not hiding what's between them." And then we saw a very clear picture of his manhood. A snapshot was taken for posterity, but I won't post it to save him the future embarrassment and resentment, good mother that I am.

Unfortunately, all our favorite names are girl names, and we have nothing to call little Junior.

Well, I must say it is a surprise. Most everyone thought little Junior would be a girl. From the way I was carrying him, to the severity of my morning sickness, all the traditional old wives' tales pointed to the baby being a girl. Goes to show how much you can rely on all that "science." The one old wife that did get it right, however, was my Grandma, Deloris. Good job Grammy!

I will say that I had a dream a while ago in which we were having the sonogram and I saw a penis. I wasn't sure if I could trust it though, because otherwise I did suspect that it was a girl. I guess I've created my own old wives' tale: trust your dreams about the gender.

Otherwise, we were told that the little man is in perfect health! He is still expected to arrive on Nov. 20th. We are very happy!
