It’s true. Sarah and I are the proud parents of a baby boy to be born February 11th(ish), 2009.

I’m so excited. At the beginning of the pregnancy, I had it in my head that we were going to have a girl. Not sure why, it just felt like it. I was really excited for ‘daddy daughter time’, having a little girl I could protect, cherish, and teach to spit. But, in the past few weeks, I have been just gradually coming to think of baby as a boy. And, now that it is confirmed that he has a penis, I’m so excited to be having a boy.

I grew up without really having a dad around. My grandpa was there, and he filled the father roll in my life in many ways. But, my dad floated in and out so much that I missed allot of the things dad’s pass on to their boys. The most predominate one I can think of is learning to shave. I remember trying to shave by doing what they did in the commercials and movies, not by trying to do what my dad did.

Little things like that add up in life. While I may not have memories from my child hood of learning man stuff from my dad, I get to create those memories for/with my boy.

Redemption comes in the greatest and smallest places.

Anyways, here are a few pictures from our ultrasound last week:

I love this shot because you can totaly see the little dude’s eyeball! Rad!

Classic ultrasound profile.

That’s not just any foot; that’s my boy’s foot! Hellz ya!

Honestly, these 3d images kind of freak me out. But, you can totally see his mouth and nose which is pretty rad. Scary, rad, picture of my boy!

BAM! It’s a boy!

Ya, so I’m excited. Can you tell?
