It's a twig and berries for us!

After the doctor's office told me only one person was allowed in the room with me when we go to find out what we're having and that they don't let you record the session on a tape, I was really discouraged. With a family like mine, they want to be a part of everything. I wanted the experience to be a little more personal than sharing a few 3.5 x 5 printed pictures. So...my friend Corinne found this place online called Baby's First Images (http://www.babysfirstimages.com/). It was perfect! They offered several packages, including a "Gender Determination" session. I booked a time and we packed the whole family up and went to Alpharetta Wednesday night! It was so much fun to have everyone there. The sonogram tech was really nice and accommodating with everyone asking a million questions. There were three separate monitors in the room so everyone got a good view of what she was doing. It took her no time at all before she identified "the part." We're having a boy and Ryan was so excited I thought he was going to hit the ceiling. Michelle insists she knew the whole time. I must admit I had a feeling that it was a boy. I'm still coping with the fact that I can't dress the baby in cute pink polka dots, at least in public anyway. Snips and snails and puppy dog tails...

I'm starting a family, I'm starting a blog...

So I guess it's just what you're supposed to do these days. You have a baby, you keep everybody abreast of what's going on. It's your parental duty. We're still about 5 months away from meeting the little one, so I thought I would start early to get the hang of things. For now, here's a picture of my current Punkin' Butt.
