Snips and Snails, and Puppy-Dogs' Tails...

That's right...



... and we couldn't be happier!!! I'm not going to lie Shad and I were definitely hoping for a boy, and from the beginning I had a gut feeling it was a little boy in there. :) Shad was convinced from the beginning it was a boy, and his family certainly needs more boys, because we have many, many nieces! We had the ultrasound this morning, and boy oh boy was he a squirmy little fella!! He wouldn't hold still for anything! Trying to get a peak at his feet and arms were certainly a chore. But it was probably the most amazing experience seeing our little one up on that screen wiggling around. He is still SO tiny, weighing in at 1 pound, so many of his movements I can't even feel. And we got to see him in 3D!!! Here are some pics:



This one is my favorite, because he kept opening his mouth, trying to suck on his little hand:

Woo Hoo! Another boy and we sure need some more of those! The pictures are great! You will certainly wish he was not so squirmy when he gets a little bigger and he keeps you up at night with all that movement! Still it is worth it! Love Mom McOmber

I'm so jealous you got a 3D ultra sound!

Congrats on the baby boy! I have loved shopping for a girl, but there are such CUTE little shoes and jackets for boys. I'm sure he will be a stud!

I got the text from Shad! That is so exciting! More boys Yeah!! I knew Devin was a boy before I even took a P test LOL And knew Natalie was a girl! But I thought Amanda was a boy Haha! I lost my touch - or it was just that Devin went around saying he was going to have a baby brother right before I found out I was Preggers! Funny stuff - I love a mothers intuition! Your little man will be so adorable - and so would a daughter from you two - Tehe! No rush!!!
