Week 20

Its a boy!!
That's the most exciting news of the week. Apparently it's also a large and very healthy boy (he's about a week above average on the growth scale.) We spent about an hour last Friday in the sonogram room checking out the little guy as he tossed and turned, sucked him thumb and scratched his elbow. Once he even looked at us and stuck his tongue out.

I'm still due July 24.

We are excited, working on wrapping our minds around the concept of a little boy, and beginning to talk names. We are taking suggestions but we are going to keep the final name a secret until the baby is born.

He weighs about a pound and is about a foot long.

I've made it to the halfway mark! Yippee!

Here's a profile of the little guy sucking his thumb (laying on his back). I think he looks like Scott. ; ) We have some more pics but I thought it would probably mortify our son 12 years from now to know that we emailed his boy parts to all our family and friends. Let's just say he's DEFINITELY a boy. And a very active one at that. He moves around all the time - and he stays up late too... hmmm. Another night owl in the family.

Take care,
Reid and Scott
