It's a....

So I am going to make you read this whole thing before I make the big reveal so skim to the bottom if you don't want the details. The sonogram was perfect today with the sonographer having a good view of all the major organs and developmental markers. We were thrilled that baby Saf is healthy and growing right along. An answer to many, many prayers!

Then, instead of having the sonographer tell us the sex of the baby as I lay on the table with goop all over my stomach and my dress up around my armpits (not glamorous at all), we decided to have her write it down on a card and seal the envelope for us to open later at a more glamorous local. :) So Jason took me to Cafe on the Green at the Four Seasons resort. The staff was wonderful especially when they found out what was happening and all came over to take pictures for us. The chef even made us a unique, specially designed dessert at the end of our meal. We had a great time! So, here's a look at our evening in pictures. Look closely at the one where we're holding up the card the sonographer filled in for us. :)






And for those of you who skimmed and missed the important part or who couldn't read the sign:
IT'S A BOY (a.k.a. He Saf)! And we are totally thrilled!!!! But we are having a hard time believing we are half way through this pregnancy and will have a son in just a few short months!

And finally, by request, here is a belly shot for you (stop scrolling if you don't want to see this....I totally understand....but in my defense, I am NOT and will NOT expose my naked belly! :)

I have been checking your blog every day hoping that you finally got to find out the sex of your baby. When I first started reading the blog I decided that I would make my final guess of what you are having and I said a BOY! I was right! That is so exciting; little boys are so fun! Congratulations!

Congrats! Little boys are so much fun and don't worry about the name...we didn't name Brandon until he was 1 day old and everyone was driving us crazy about it!
