It's going to be ...
... a boy!
Yesterday we went to the doctor, where we watched our son on a sonogram. As the practitioner checked the baby, she gave us a "money-back guarantee" that it was a boy.
The practitioner looked the entire baby over, showing us the four lobes of the brain, the four chambers of the heart pumping away, kidneys, stomach, spine, and a femur. Everything looked good to her. Our boy is in the 73rd percentile for age, weighing probably 1 pound 4 ounces.
While we were watching the head (pictured below), we saw hands moving around the head, and then while watching from the side, we saw a yawn. VERY cute!
Everything is on a VHS tape, so we can enjoy it again.
Below is a split-screen image showing the head.
Below is that same image, with a crude overlay to help you pick out the facial features. The video image was much easier to see, but I don't know if that was quality or context.
