However, this being our last child, I am also experiencing a great loss; a loss of a dream I have loved since I was a little girl. Loss and joy. Two conflicting emotions, but two completely different reasons. Do I feel loss because I'm having a boy? Absolutely NOT. I feel loss because I'm not having a girl. I feel only joy and excitement waiting for Andrew's arrival.
As I have said before, it helps to have his name picked out because I can start to bond with him as an indiviual, and not some nebulous idea of him. By the time he is born, I will want no baby other than him.
Here are some pictures of the ultrasound.

A great view of the spine.

The left arm kept up by the head.

The four chambers of the heart.

This should be obvious to anyone; but in case it isn't....what you are seeing here are two legs and what is between them. Yes, we are definitely having a boy. It's hard to mistake that.

Here are his legs, with his feet off to the left side of the picture.
I have a few more pictures and a couple videos to add.
