The News Is . . .

Well, for one thing, I am 99.9% finished with my undergraduate education! I have a few small things to do tomorrow and then . . . victory is mine!

But really more exciting is that we are having a healthy baby, viewed by ultrasound. We're a little farther along than we thought with a due date around September 2ndish, but they don't change your actual due date based on such a small change. It's probably better that I think it's coming later and then I'll be pleasantly surprised if the baby is a few days "early." We were excited to hear that the baby is healthy and to see the child sucking and to see the heart beating. And we were excited to learn that we're having a boy! (We would have been excited either way, but it's awfully fun to know one way or the other.) The woman doing the ultrasound (I don't know the name for that job) said that she usually doesn't take pictures of the front of the face because at this point they look like little aliens, but she said our munchkin looked quite good. He was fairly active throughout which made Patrick a little nervous-- like father like son? But we wanted him to be active; it made it much easier for the woman, so we'll look on it as a good sign of high energy mixed with obedience. Also, he's clearly handsome already. It's all very promising. He's gonna be a winner! Of course, we both rather think his genes guaranteed it.

Yay Keegan! I'm so excited you're having a little boy--even after you moved out of the 139 ward! It is so fun to finally see your little one moving about, and of course to find out he's healthy and growing properly! Good luck with the second half of pregnancy!
