Ultrasound
January 5, 2005
This morning Sarah had her first (and likely only) ultrasound for baby #2. It was raining like hell all day, but her Mom, brother and I all made it up to the doctors office in Carmel to witness the youngin' in all it's skeletal glory.
As you can see from the picture, the ultrasound shows that the new baby is a boy. I have to say, I'm pretty excited. I'd be lying if I said it hadn't mattered to me, but it kinda did. Not a lot, mind you, but a little - yes. You see, I was the only male growing up in my family. I had four sisters and my mother. I had two second cousins - both girls. I had an aunt and a mother and a grandmother. Other than my step-grandfather and various stepfathers and a few uncles by marriage (all of whom came and went except my grandfather), I was it. The lone male. There wasn't another male born in my family until I was 17 when my cousin and namesake Christie had her son, Evan. In the 13 years since then, there's still only been 2 more - one by my older sister and another by my other cousin Leslie. So, needless to say, the women have had their time in our family.
Sarah was happy, too, of course. She likes the idea of having a boy and a girl, as do I. So, it was a blessing that we both got what we wanted. Now, just a few more months till the little bugger comes out into the world. Pretty exciting, I'll say.

Congrats Big Papa!
Are you going to have everything done at St. V's? Both of ours were delivered there and I regard them very highly.
Yeah, Dan, Ellie was born at St. V's, too - we're probably going to deliver at Women's, which is now owned by St. Vincent.
I think "Dan" would be an excellent choice for a name. Just my .02
Dan,
My brother completely agrees with the name choice!
congratz chris.
Excellent! I'm happy for you both.
bocephus, bubba, bronchial -

Ned makes a fine boy's name too....
As long as it's not Dane.
Congrats. I'm looking at one month to due date :).
That's so cool, Dave. I'm so excited for you guys. You're gonna love being a Dad.
Congratulations! It seems there are a lot of little boys on the way!! We are waiting to find out, but our ultrasound tech made a few comments that make me think boy...no obvious shots like yours caught on film, though! :)
