And we're having a....

BOY!!!! Little Turtle is a healthy baby boy. Scott and I went for the ultra sound appointment this morning. It was, by far, one of the coolest things ever. It is truly amazing what technology can do. I must admit, at first, as the technician was moving things around and showing us stills of the baby, I was completely lost. I had no idea what I was looking at as Scott was saying, "Wow" and "Oh yeah." I thought, "Oh my God, I'm a terrible mommy... I can't tell what part of my baby is what!" But, then things started becoming more and more clear and it really was "Wow!"
We were able to see so much: his head and brain, his face (complete with big cheeks), his spine (even in 3D), his little hands and arms (which were fist pumping), his little crossed ankles, and, of course, his little baby boy parts! I, of course, was teary and smiling all at once. Scott was so excited by it all.
Telling our parents/siblings/families was awesome. They were all super excited and happy. This turned out to be an amazing day. We've explained to Jack that now he is our big boy and is going to have a little brother. He's looking forward to it. We are can't wait to welcome our little boy... the Fullen name lives on!
My week 19 belly! 

You have to look sideways (tilt your head to the right) and closely: This is the front of his face (looking outward from my belly). You can see his right eye, forehead, nose, mouth, and his little fists.

Little baby boy junk! You can see each of his thighs and in between is what makes him a him! The tech made sure to put a circle around it just in case there was any question.
