So Caleb and I were very anxious to find out the sex of our baby. Problem is, I'm only 15 weeks along and my next ultrasound would probably be around 20 -22 weeks. I could not wait that long! So Caleb, Regan, and I went down to Victorville Elite Diagnostic Imaging. We paid 40 dollars for a gender check! Before we went, I called and asked what the ideal age of the fetus is before you can tell the sex. She said between 22 and 28 weeks. I knew that was a crock, so I told her I would take my chances. I was so glad I got the same stenographer that had done my first ultrasound! Remember, it was when the Doctor could not find our peanuts' heart beat. It was cool to see how much the baby had grown! Right away it was evident that the sex was visible! The stenographer said this baby is a 150 % BOY. Yes, you heard me! Deep inside I felt it was a boy all along. But honestly, I'm really scared! I know nothing about boys and quite frankly, little boys scare me to death! I always picture those naughty little boys in sacrament meeting, screaming and giving their mothers a run for their money. I'm still am getting used to the whole idea, but I'm sure by the time he is here (it's really weird to say "he"), he will be loved very much. Regan saw me scanning the ultrasound pictures onto the computer and she said, "Baby brother." She will be a good big sister!
Our little boy would not hold still! After the ultrasound Caleb asked me if I could see him bouncing all around. I told him, "I feel him bouncing around." Later, Regan was just looking at the pictures that I copied to the computer and she said, "Baby Brother, I yike Baby brother! Cute." She's such a cutie!
In the picture above you can see the two hemisphere's of the brain. That's pretty cool. Even though he still looks like an alien, I'm sure he will be handsome. Only time will tell. Only 25 more weeks or 175 days until his birthday.

Jessica, like I said... BOYS ARE SO FUN! I was freaked out when we found out we were having a boy... let me tell you, there is nothing cuter than that little man cuddling up next to you or trying to do everything that his daddy does. You will LOVE it. We are excited for you guys!
I grew up with only sisters, so I was a little nervous about having a boy too... especially after all the naughty stories Bo told me about his childhood! But now that he's here I am amazed at how much fun little boys are!
