Baby D is a BOY!

Last night around midnight, Baby D had a dance party in my tummy, so I thought he was excited about showing his face today.  However, he did not cooperate during his ultrasound.  He kept his chin tucked into his chest most of the time, and the angle didn't allow for good facial pictures.  I guess he was a bit shy about his first real appearance. Here are the two best pictures:

Profile shot.  The top of his head is on the left, and that's his tiny nose poking up.

3D picture of Baby D's face.  He's facing straight forward.  Kind of cute but totally creepy.

I think he has Himal's nose and ears, and Himal thinks he has my chin.  But really, he just looks like an alien in the 3D pics.

The angle also didn't allow the tech to get good heart measurements, so that means we get to have another ultrasound and see Baby D again at 24 weeks!  We are very excited about that and hope we'll get better portraits of him then.  All of the measurements the tech was able to make were good and his heartbeat was normal, so we think Baby D is growing strong and developing normally.

When Himal found out Baby D's sex, he literally danced a jig!  I'd say he's completely ecstatic to have a son. I'm excited as well.  The only problem is that we were pretty certain what the girl name would be but haven't locked in on a boy name yet.  At least we have 4 months to figure it out.   

After eating lunch, we went straight to the store to pick out clothes for our son.  The outfits are SO ADORABLE, and I wanted to buy so many.  Himal had to hold me back from spending hundreds of dollars.  I couldn't help it; it was so neat to finally be able to shop knowing what the sex is.  Here is what we bought today, and I wouldn't be surprised if we continued our shopping trip after work:

Daddy picked this one out

If you know my handy dad, then you know this is the perfect outfit for his grandson
