It's a Boy!

Well today was my 20 week ultrasound, and yes we're having a boy! Dax had the most boyish grin I've seen on his face in a long time. It was a lot of fun, apart from the fact that Dax was late and that the gel got all over my clothes. :) I was called back two times before Dax got there, but they knew that I wanted him to be there so they graciously took other patients ahead of me. The ultrasound technician said everything looks great, which was a big relief. Technology just astounds me. I can't believe that someone outside my body can take a 3D picture of what is going on inside my body. We live in pretty amazing times. The technician also said he's measuring 5 days ahead of my due date, and he weighs nearly a pound! He kept sticking his feet out at us, it was so cute.

This is a picture of his little foot.

It is fun to feel those little kicks every now and then. I try to let Dax feel them, but I don't think they are strong enough quite yet. They are usually so short as well that by the time Dax can try to feel them the baby has stopped kicking.

Here is a picture of the snow we got that I mentioned earlier. Luckily it melts off quickly here, because I was ready to pack my bags and head 2 hours south!

Apart from that we don't have a lot of news to share. My days right now consist of getting up, making Dax breakfast and lunch, seeing him out the door, studying all day, exercising (if I feel ambitious), and making dinner. I'm almost done with my New Testament class, which will be nice. I love studying the scriptures, but reading 20+ chapters a day isn't so fun, although I am learning some interesting things. I finally told Dax last night that until my internship starts I need some major quality conversation time with him when he gets home from work, because I don't say a word all day!
