A male heir?

I have completely neglected to announce/record that I am pregnant and due May 9!  This pregnancy has been a super busy one and has flown by.  In fact, David and I are feeling like time is passing so quickly and while we're really excited about another baby we feel like we need more prep time. Since the other babies have come early, we kind of have a mid-April deadline in mind.  Lots to do between now and then!

We found out just before Christmas that we are gong to be blessed with a baby boy.  The first grandson that will carry on the Dean name.  We were very surprised and very excited.

Does that look like a boy to you??  I kept asking the technician if she was sure and she just said "you're seeing what I'm seeing."  Which I interpreted as "it's pretty obvious crazy lady"  And then he stuck his hand 'down there' and she said "oh yeah, definitely a boy!" There's still that tiny lingering doubt in the back of my head so we'll see what happens on delivery day!

I had a low-lying placenta mid-way through the pregnancy but that has cleared up.  However, now my blood pressure has become elevated so they are watching that.  I had some scary, painful contractions about a week ago but they disappeared and I'm hoping the next 6 weeks or so will be UNEVENTFUL!  I can't wait to hold my very own baby boy.
