And now we know... and at least a few of us are happy

This morning we took a family trip to the Maternal Diagnostics Center. Both boys woke up early with an ultrasound on the mind. We got in quick and got to look at what will soon be our newest addition. Isn't he handsome?
That's right- He. Cardon Boy #3 on the way. The tech started looking around and taking the boring measurements of my insides that she needed, and Gavin kept saying, "Is that the penis?" every time she she would stop to measure something. She was laughing a lot at this, so when she started to look at the baby, she went straight for the view that would answer Gavin's question. Then she announced proudly, "And there is your boy." And Gavin was dead silent, and Henry said, "I thought I said I wanted a girl." I just laughed. She even went back and checked at the end to make sure that she hadn't made a mistake. Both boys had been pretty adamant, since we told them about the baby, that they had wanted a sister. Though Caleb and I both agreed that we would be quite surprised if it wasn't a boy. I have also had to have several talks with Gavin and his friend Lexi about how happy we will be even if it isn't the sister he is hoping for.
Despite that minor set back in his day, Gavin was really impressive at the ultrasound and kept picking out and naming the body parts of the screen when I thought he wouldn't be able to tell what anything was. It was really fun. And this little guy looks healthy and is measuring exactly to his due date... July 17.
