17 weeks!!! Boy or Girl??

It has been a bit since posting. Not much happening... Carla is feeling a billion times better! She hasn't taken the anti-nausea pills for a little over 2 weeks and... EVERYTHING is stay down! :) YEAH!!! The second trimester is here...

We started a registry with Babies'R'us and amazon.com. Registering was pretty cool! Especially since Carla knew what she really wanted. Bottles, toys, wipes, furniture, bedding, etc.... it made the process very easy. The hardest part was the stinking car seat, stroller, carrier stuff. We probably spent a good 45 minutes looking between individual items and the all-in-one travel system. Who knew how difficult it would be!!!!?!?!??! Anyways, we must have looked pretty frustrated and a couple with their baby walked by and said... you want that one. Period end of story. So, we registered for the all-in-one travel system by Chicco. We had a quick conversation with them and said our many thanks to them! We continued on our registering (with the scanner gun)... and by the end, we were EXHAUSTED!

Saturday, August 8:
We headed down to Portland for Carla's cousin's wedding and her step-dad is radiologist... so he offered to give us an ultrasound to see if we could identify the gender. Carla is all for as many ultrasounds as possible, so we took them up on their kind offer.


So, here is one scan: (side face profile)

IT IS A BOY!!!!


We have been throwing around a few names, but we aren't sharing yet. Of course, if you want to suggest something... you can.

We have a future Chicago Bears and Seattle Sounders FC fan!!! Maybe we should name him... Ditka!!!!!!!
