it's a BOY!!!!

we were SO excited to find out (almost right away) that we'll be bringing a baby boy home from the hospital come October. The doctor said he couldn't be any healthier and that he weighs 1.5 pounds right now (i knew ALL that weight wasn't mine ;) ) 

here are a couple of pictures from the appointment. the doctor took plenty!

Here he is saying "Hello world!" (his thumb is actually touching the top of his nose.) Look at those long fingers. I think he'll be some kind of a musician :)

See how the doctor marked this one:

Here's a profile shot (he's got a hand in front of his face, to the left)
