boy parts

Okay well the ultrasound was TODAY!! Anyway, my scanner is broken and so I had to take pictures of pictures to get them posted on here, such as my ultrasound pics and my very awesome pic taken Spring Break of '02 (pre-sleeves life). Here some pictures of the lovely parents:


Joe's hair looks somewhat un-red, but we all know it is :)


Ashley looking awesome with red hair.

Picture of the big brother:


After much color editing; Boston with red hair.


And introducing our new bundle of joy with red hair.

I'm thinking our whole family should go red, although Joe has already beat us to the punch.

So at the doctor's office we got these pictures:


An arm, shoulder, and head.


A Skeletor head, yikes! Kind of a scary one.

Anyway, what you're all waiting for is it's a GIRL!!!! The first thing Joe said was, "I don't believe it." (he didn't say this angrily, just as a statement) When the doctor asked why he said, "Because my sister was told she was having a girl and she had a boy." When the doctor showed him more closely, she said, "She's giving me a great view and I see NO boy parts. They would be right here if she had any." She's doing another ultrasound next month to put his mind at ease! Oh Joe... he was really excited, especially because he knew that I really, really wanted a girl. He asked me once the doctor left if I was excited and because I hadn't really said anything (just smiled) and I was like, "Did you want me to get up and dance? That would have been too weird." I really was so, so, SO excited and couldn't stop smiling the whole way out of the office!! I kinda felt retarded -- because it was the same smile you get on your wedding day and you can't wipe it off your face if you tried -- and there was some old lady riding in the elevator with us looking at me all goofy. The part that made me that happiest was that the heart, stomach, head, etc. looked great and she's already 9 oz. Sorry this had taken all day to post... I had other distractions. In other news, here are some pictures of Bos that I took today walking around outside by the pond.


What we do at the pond -- pick up rocks and throw them into the water. Very fun.




Look at the concentration. He's gonna throw it really far... actually it barely made it to the water!


REFUSING to look at the camera.


Nothing will get him to look. He's the boss and he knows it, unfortunately.


Finally he looked!! I told him there was a duck. Sadly, our relationship is based on lies... This was after our walk ~ back to the wagon!


"Please just take me home!!"

After I showered him this morning, Joe got ready and was putting on some lotion. He wanted some too and apparently thought it was shampoo and smeared it all in his hair. He had greasy bangs all day :(


He can sit on the swings by himself, but you can't swing him without holding his hand!


Looking, but not quite at me. I told him there was a duck and he has me figured out. Back to square one!
