It's a boy!!!

We had a 3D/4D ultrasound today to check out the baby and, we found out that we are having a baby BOY! We had a very thorough ultrasound to check out the brain, spine, heart, kidneys, stomach, etc.. It was incredible. Everything is going perfectly! We were a few weeks early on the ultrasound because Pat is leaving for Officer Candidate School next week, and he will be gone for 6 weeks. So we wanted to get an ultrasound before he left. They weren't sure if we'd be able to see everything that they needed to see, but the baby cooperated well. We were able to see everything. It was amazing! Here are a few of the pics:

Above: The baby's head is on the left... you can see the brain! I was having a braxton hicks contraction, which is the "bump" in front of the baby's face. They said the contractions are totally normal and don't harm the baby.

Below: Well, I don't have to explain much here.... but it's a boy! We didn't get too many great pics of the baby's face in 3D because I had 2 Braxton Hick's contractions, and the baby had one of his hands in front of his face sometimes and the other was behind his head. So we had trouble getting good face shots, but the ultrasound tech said he wasn't shy for the pic below! And he said he has no doubt it's a boy!

We have decided to name the baby Austin James Fedak! We are both very excited, and Pat is totally thrilled. :) We will keep you updated with more pics and good news as it comes our way. We are 16 weeks and counting.... so we are almost 1/2 way there!
