Thanks be to God, we have been blessed with another baby that has all his essential parts, and is very healthy! I pray he continues to stay that way!

Only befitting a Marine Corps Officer's son? Here he is, looks like he is saluting!
These pictures don't do justice to what we actually saw moving around in there! It was the neatest thing, just like looking at a baby through a shadow. We could even see him opening and closing his mouth! It was great seeing him like this, it made my pregnancy more real. I wish I would've thought to have the tech take a picture of his penis, to show here that he is definitely a little boy! I was glad to know his sex, I feel as if it helps my bonding with him to know.

Not only that, but we could stop calling him Nadine! We could call him by the boy's name we had picked out. Which we of course had not picked out yet! I wanted to name him after my Dad in some way. I don't like naming our babies after people we know, but this was different, because my Dad had passed away on April 15, 2000. My Dad's first name was Donnie, and everyone called him Gil, so at first I thought we would name the baby Donnie Gil. But, discussing it one night with my husband, it was discovered that he doesn't really like the name Donnie, but knew my Dad as Gil so the middle name could stay.

So, we decided to go with one other name we had thought about. Noah. Cute, fits with our first two having names starting with B, now the last two will have names starting with N. We could also buy up all the Noah's ark baby paraphernalia we could find! Anyway, I hope it's a good name, because I've already printed up the birth announcements on the computer. All I have to do once he is born is fill in his weight and length, and the date and time!

So, even though I had wanted another girl, I was thrilled to know my little boy was healthy and I could hardly wait to get home and tell everyone that I was going to have another son!!

Since this is my last pregnancy, I have tried to enjoy it instead of wishing for the time to pass. It can be hard though because I have fallen madly in love with my little boy, and can hardly wait to meet him. But, in reality there is hardly any time left before I will be meeting him! He will be here before I know it! August 20th, here we come!
