Okay, so there have been demands for pictures. And I was planning on getting a blog up and going again. So here we are. The site design is still in progress; bear with me.<\/p>\n

To get oriented, I’m at 22 weeks. It’s a boy (see “boy parts” below). And he’s due mid-January.<\/p>\n

For the belly pix, I’ve got one of me at 11 weeks for reference. I could tell I was getting bigger by then, as my pants were starting not to fit so well, but most everyone else couldn’t tell yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

And now for the ultrasound pix. I hear that they’re much better than they used to be, so those of you who haven’t seen any in a while may be surprised…<\/p>\n

Okay, here we’ve got an arm. The head’s down at the bottom, with the ribcage to the right. Elbow towards the top and the hand down near the face:<\/p>\n

\"arm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s both arms. This time the head’s over to the right, and we can see the forearms with the hands up in front of his face:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A nice leg, if I do say so. Butt is to the right, knee at bottom, and foot on the left. You can actually see part of the other foot, too, behind his calf.<\/p>\n

It’s a boy! “How certain are you of that?” Ben asked the radiologist technician. “100%,” he replied.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My favorite picture. Look at that beautiful spine. Head is to the right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s where it starts getting all new-fangled. They have this thing called 3-D ultrasound, which apparently uses a computer to generate a 3-D image from a number of stills at different angles. Here are shots of the head, with the hands up in front of the face:<\/p>\n
