Getting Up to Speed . . . About The Baby

The first question Jamie and I always get asked is "When are you due?"

Baby Fontaine's due date is November 16th, 2009.

The next question that gets asked is "Do you know the sex of the baby?"

As of Friday June 19th, the answer is "Yes" we do. Baby Fontaine is a BOY!!!!!

The ultrasound results came back the following Tuesday and the doctor assured us everything looks "normal". The experience of seeing our baby on the ultrasound was amazing. He's a very active litte guy and he wouldn't sit still for a second. As a result, we saw him waving, rolling over, kicking and even yawning. We got to see his heart, kidneys, spine and ribs. We saw all of his fingers and toes and much to my relief, he was the only one in there!

The ultrasound people wouldn't give us any pictures but we did buy a 10 second video of him, so I'll try to post it here.

Apparently he's the size of a large can of soup and every day he gets a little bit stronger. I can feel him, usually in the early morning and late afternoon, rolling around and streching his limbs. This gives me tons of comfort and allows for me to dream of him as the next great soccer superstar!
