It's a boy! (Confidence level: 95%)

Color me shocked. Then color me baby blue.

It was almost an out-of-body experience, laying there, having the ultrasound tech refer to a fetus of ours in male terms.

Yet there he was, in all his male glory.

In other less-stunning-but-arguably-more-important news, the baby himself (!) looks perfectly healthy. He had everything he was supposed to have--including one significant thing I didn't expect--and didn't have anything he wasn't supposed to have. The only medically notable issue is an extremely low lying placenta. I'll be scanned again (no argument from me) at 32 weeks.
