I finally got around to checking out our blog and realized that I skipped this post from our last ultrasound. So here it is, almost 4 weeks late. Just act surprised! :)
We had our big ultrasound on Monday morning (March 19th) and found out that the next little Clingman will be a boy! At first he was feeling a bit modest and had his legs crossed but he eventually woke up and showed us the goods. I made her check again (and again) just to be sure. I can verify that he is 100% boy.
We went to a new ultrasound clinic and really enjoyed it. They have super high tech equipment so we got to see each little bone and even watched his heart beating over infrared technology (or at least that is what I think she called it, you could see the blood go in and out of his heart valves). Everything looked great though and we are right on track to meet this little guy in Mid August.
Nolan came with us and did really well considering we were in a little room with lots of buttons and machines he wasn't allowed to touch. Pat kept him pretty distracted but every once in a while he would point to the screen and proclaim it was "baby sister." We broke the news to him that it is actually a baby brother but he hasn't changed his tune yet, still calling the baby "sister."
The hardest part, besides that whole pesky labor thing, will be naming this boy. We have a few front runners already but Pat and I can't seem to agree on a middle name. Pat bounces between very traditional names like Matthew to very bizarre like Buffalo, seriously that was one of his suggestions. I think it's great that after 10 years together I still can't tell when he's being sarcastic or serious. He said it was after a band or something? I chalked it up to our generation gap and DID NOT add it to the list. For the record, I want you to know that if daddy had his way you would be Grant Buffalo Clingman...you're welcome son!
