That's right folks - for the first time ever in "public," our little man is exposing himself to the world! It's a boy! Tripp and I were just happy to see the baby - growing well, again measuring ~1 week ahead - and were thrilled to learn that come November the Almy household will welcome a BOY into our rag-tag mix!Coming in for the closeup!
Much to my chagrin, I'm still not feeling any movement, but I anticipate feeling it very soon. My placenta is low-lying and anterior (that means towards my belly button) so the little guy's tiny kicks are still hard to differentiate from gas or other tummy rumblings. But as his strength improves, I expect to start feeling the first bumps and pokes any day!As I said above, he's measuring about 1 week ahead (9 days) and while that is considered within normal limits (Ultrasound tech said 8-10 days doc said 14 days difference) we would not be at all surprised if he makes his grand entrance a little earlier than first predicted. Only time will tell!
I'm sorry that I can't post more pictures right now; my html editing software is loaded on my work computer. I hope to have more pictures up first thing Tuesday morning when I return from visiting family in Illinois for the 4th of July holiday.
Our next appointment will be our regular prenatal visit with the midwives on July 9th.
July 1 Stats: Heart rate 142bpm, ~12oz.
He's lookin' at you!

Are you sure there's not two in there?
Congrats! I know how excited you both must be :) And there definitely isn't any question that he's a boy! You'll be feeling his kicks any day now!!! Take care of yourself and let me know if you have any questions.
Is that his wiener? Jesus, it is already bigger than mine!
