Drumroll Please... (20 Weeks)

Well, I know what you are all here for, and it isn't to read my rambling.  As I'm sure anyone keeping up with this blog knows, we had our mid-pregnancy ultrasound today - which, although the purpose is really to check out the baby's anatomy and make sure everything is coming along nicely, everybody thinks is just to find out which options package you ended up with.  Although the little bugger gave us the darnedest time being modest, we did finally get his legs uncrossed so we could get a look at his bits and pieces.  Yes, you read that right: we are being blessed with another Bailey boy.  In addition to the "money shot," which I won't be posting here (at least not yet), we got some nice - as far as sonograms go - profile pictures.  I've also got the latest baby bump pic, since we are due for a new one.

I have no idea why the scans came out kind of purple; I'm still learning how to use my new scanner.

At least this set looks a little bit more like a baby than the last one...

And last but not least, the exterior view.  This is really dark for some reason...

Unless something changes between now and the time I sign the SSN paperwork, he shall be dubbed Judah Jeremiah Lee - Judah for it's biblical-history significance, and because it's an unusual, old Jewish name; Jeremiah for my wife's late brother, Jeremy, and also because it's old and Jewish; and Lee because it's my dad's middle name and a family name on my mother-in-law's side.  People keep asking me how I feel or if I'm happy about having another boy.  Honestly, I kept vacillating about which I'd prefer to have.  In some ways I was hoping for another girl, but I also thought that I'd prefer to have a boy if we were having any more after this, so that there would be an older brother closer to their age.  Ultimately I decided I'd trust God's judgment and just be content with however things turned out.  I've been doing a lot more of that lately, but that's a blog for another time...

In other news:  Nada!  Excluding today, we have had a blissfully uneventful couple of weeks.  Of course, with Thanksgiving just around the corner, and Christmas hot on its heels, I don't think that trend will hold out.  Plus, we now have to start planning the nursery and getting ready to move the kids into one bedroom.  And I still need to get some estimates on rebuilding our bathroom and get that underway.  And figure out how to get the squirrels out of our attic.  And...*whimper*
