It's a...

I am 5 months pregnant this week and Josh and I went to our revealing ultrasound yesterday.
The ultrasound tech is 95% sure it is a boy. Josh and I saw revealing anatomy quickly. The tech was great about showing us the umbilical cord and it's striations and then the penis to reassure us it was not the umbilical cord between the baby's legs.

We are very excited. Having a little boy already, I feel a little like I know what to do with a boy. I am mostly excited to know that all the measurements taken during the ultrasound show the baby is developing normally.

My doctor here has suggested I have an amniocentesis because I am of "advanced maternal age", but I am just not comfortable with pursuing this course of action. Had the ultrasound shown or indicate any abnormalities I would pursue further testing, but I am relieved to know that all is developing normally at this time.

Baby Boy Perry has a name already. I won't reveal his name here. All I will say is that he is getting one of his names from his uncle who is currently deployed to Kuwait right now.

Love to all our family and friends all over the world
Cheers
Kristin
