Introducing....

Ladies and Gentlemen....

Jackson Wendell Eaton!!!

Due October 16, 2009

Well, there HE is! We are so excited. My ultrasound today went well. He was VERY active at first...waving at us, putting his hand behind his head, sticking his foot on my belly, and turning every which way. He even had the hiccups at one point! At first he was shy and did not want to show us his "man parts," but finally he gave in. He was probably tired of the technician poking all around on my stomach. Everything looks great...2 arms, 2 legs, 5 fingers and toes, brain looks good, and all 4 chambers of the heart are present and in working condition. Jackson got a little tired of everything towards the end and decided to plop on his stomach for the duration of the ultrasound. Therefore, the technician didn't get the final pictures of his heart that she needed. SO, we get to go back in 4 weeks for a re-scan ultrasound. I'm not sad about that! Another chance to see the baby in action! We wanted a boy SO bad, but we had been trying to prepare ourselves this past week that it could be a girl! We would have loved a girl no matter what. BUT, our wish came true and we got our boy. He weighs a whopping 10 ounces right now, and kind of looks like an alien. We do think he has my chin, though. :-) We went shopping immediately after the ultrasound and bought some clothes for him. Boy clothes---yay! More shopping will be done this weekend when we REGISTER for gifts. I can't wait to use that little scanner again! Well, gotta go for now. I will post another update on Friday...can't believe another week has passed already!
