We finally made it for the ultrasound, so here is the tally:
10 fingers
10 toes
1 head
1 brain (with 2 beautifully normal hemispheres)
2 kidneys
1 heart (with 2 auricles and 2 ventricles)
1 spine
a bunch of ribs
1 bladder
1 aorta
2 pulmonary arteries...and 2 testicles.
So here he is. He certainly has his father's statuesque bearing, don't you think?
And here's another, only because I thought it hilarious that they gave us a picture of his feet:
So there you go. No more gender neutral pronouns for this dad blog, no sir.
That is one handsome fellow... I definately think he looks like a Honus or Randolph. Perhaps some thing more current? Biblical names seem to very in: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

Hearty congratulations, ZD and DW! Can I be the first to note that Zygote Daddy II is wearing Lennon specs in the top scan?

Ha! That's exactly what I thought when I saw that pic!
And thanks, everyone, for the kind thoughts!

...and is he smoking a cigarette, or is that a pen he's holding? Damn they grow up so fast...

I am pretty sure that is a finger, it better not be a cigarette, there is no way to ground him in the womb.

So many congratulations! Not only on the gender but that eveything else is hunky dory.
You'll be able to one day say, "Yup. That's my boy."
HOORAY!
