Well, its official. I'm finally having my boy!

Tonya, the girls and I just returned from Tampa. We had a 3-D ultrasound (20week) done and just found out we are haing our first boy! The second the nurse brought up the image it was clearly evident image

Everyone here is excited, especially Tonya. She now gets to go do alot of "baby boy clothes" shopping image

    Very cool man, congrats!!!!image
  • Congrats! Just a word of warning though. I have a niece that was supposed to be a nephew after all of the ultrasounds that were done up until the eighth month. She grew up liking the color blue and being used to wearing tiny baseball uniforms....

    High five!

    Your big grin implies that he has the makings of a "big" boy

    We're going in on the 3rd for ours. We're actually both hoping for a boy.

    Are you getting your co-pilots seat ready for the mower?

    These 3D ultrasounds are amazing. Its almost like looking at the baby on the outside. It seems like you can see every detail.
  • Congrats! We just had a boy in December. It's an awesome experience. It is what got me back into the hobby. Good luck.

    One of my buddies had a brother that did that. He had girl after girl trying to get a boy. After 6 years he had 4 girls before he finally got his boy.

    I personally would have cut my losses after the 2nd girl.

    I've got two girls and I am 99.9% sure that we aren't going to go for any more children. I'd like a boy, but the thoughts of having ANOTHER woman in my home is just too much! image

  • CONGRATS!!!! And another card collecting monster is born. I've had two grandkids born in Jan and they are great. I've already "polluted" my oldest grandson. This is his first year of collecting football cards and he is nine. Wow, I began collecting a nine also. Now how did that happen.

    Hey congrats! That's awesome!

    Coincidentally, my wife and I had our 3D ultrasound done this morning at 11:00 am. We are having a little girl. She's 28 weeks along, but the images don't differ all that much from what you have. Sure is a cool technology!

    Wow Matt!

    Congratulations to you and Tonya.

    Not there's anything wrong with having a girl or anything?

    I wish you all the best,

    Matt, We have 5 sons and I know I'm being partial but I really believe thats sons can be a great sorce of fun and pride. Our oldest,20 years old, is a code breaker for the government, unbelievable smart , well mannered and most of all wise . Our 18 year old is a very learned computer major. He's up to 14 languages and hopefully has a great future doing what he likes. He drives a jeep and skis up in Vermont , when he finds the time. He's still in high school , works full-time, generally enjoying life. Just like his older brother , smart , mannered and very wise, for their age . Our 16 , 3-1/2 and 2 year all have different abilities and great potential just like their brothers.

    Its never been easy raising our children, but I learned a long time ago, that I may never add up to much in my life and will probably not have much of a personal legacy , but have never the less been givin the great responsibility of getting our sons ready for the future. we have done that . I've heard it said " That as the tree branch is bent , so grows the tree".

    Congradulations on this 1st ( soon to be )born son.
