Are you sure???

In the beginning we looked up the Chinese Gender Calendar which is supposed to be 93% accurate and it told us GIRL. We guessed that we conceived approximately one week before I turned 32 which would give a different result. We decided to call the baby a girl and hope it all worked out.

Then, two weeks ago we purchased this test from Walgreens just to satisfy curiosity a bit. It said GIRL!


So, when we went yesterday to get an ultrasound, we were certain it would confirm our thoughts of the past couple months. Instead...

It was so funny because Mark was really having a hard time accepting the technician's words when she said over and over, that is for sure the little boy part.

This is the first picture we saw that we could actually tell. This is a view from the bottom up. The bum is on the left and you can clearly see the left leg at the bottom. The little white spot in the middle is the little boy part. Mark was still in denial. Ha ha.

Got a few 3D pictures but the stinker wouldn't keep his hands away from his face. See the umbilical cord below his face?

Can't see a whole lot. Does have two arms, two legs, and it looks like all his fingers and toes. We are scheduled to do an anatomy scan in three weeks. That ultrasound will help us to know if there are any abnormalities in his heart, etc. We can't wait to meet our little guy.

Names: A lot of people are asking what we are planning to name him. For months now we have been calling him by his girl name so it will take a while for us to get used to calling him by the new name but we still have a little more then four months to get used to it. My favorite name at this time is Collin Daniel. What do you think? My second favorite is Lance Alan.

My first baby grandson, I think. Even after Mary walked me through how to see that it was a boy. No matter if it's a boy or girl, I'm ready. Mom Wright

We are so excited...I'm glad it is a boy because now Bryce has another boy cousin close in age. I like both names but I think I like Collin better, but whatever name you pick will be perfect.
