We thank thee for this bountiful *$&#@!

So, anyone who has seen the Simpsons movie will recognize the title of this post.

Katie and I went for our 17th week checkup last Monday. Although its too early to do the ultrasound to check the condition of the baby's heart, etc., we convinced the Dr. to let us slide into the ultrasound room really quick just to take a quick peek at what's inside for a little Christmas surprise. He agreed. Hooray!

Before he performed the ultrasound, I gave the baby a little pep talk. I told him/her to be a good little son/daughter and spread his/her legs for us. The George genes have very prominent spread eagle qualities. Katie can testify to this per my sleeping habits. I tried to get him/her to use those genes he/she was blessed with and give us a show. :)

The Dr. stuck on the the ultrasound and immediately we could see the baby's heart beating. Then he panned down to the crotch area......

I looked at Katie and said, "did I just see what I thought I saw?" Katie smiled and said, "I think so..." The Dr. chimed in and replied, "You sure did!"

Here's an ultrasound of the baby. You can see almost the entire body:

Here you see a close up. You can see a little more detail in the heart and spine:


And lastly, my favorite of all, the gender! Yes....it's a boy!!
