Puppy dog tails

Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.
--Psalm 127:3

Today's ultrasound made it official: the family of fish is once again at an even split. In January, we'll get to meet our first son!

To answer the frequently asked questions:

• Yes, we're sure. Our little boy was not shy about having his picture taken when it came time to prove his manhood.
• No, we don't have a name yet. Maybe we'll just stick with Peanut. I think it's a name he could really grow into.
• Yes, we're excited. What kind of a question is that?
• No, Abby is not excited. She's exhibiting exactly the kind of ambivalence you'd expect from a one year old being told she has a little brother.
  

Peanut's a big boy, and based on his size our due date got bumped up another two days, making today's ultrasound technician my new favorite person. All reports were good, which is exactly what we were hoping for. So far Peanut's proving to be a much more chilled out little baby than Abby was. Instead of flailing about while they tried to take his picture (like his big sister did in her last ultrasound), Peanut was content to sleep most of the time, stretch, yawn, and wake up just long enough to roll over and make it difficult for the tech to get the last few pictures she needed.

We're almost halfway there...and can't wait to meet our little boy!
