IT'S A BOY!

WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!!!! THE BABY IS A BOY! We are so excited to know that in just a few short months little baby Aiden Alan Griffitts will be joining us here in the world.

On Thursday Jessie had another doctors appointment to check on the baby. There was no ultrasound scheduled for the day, even though she was almost twenty weeks along. The appointment went just great. The baby's heart rate was 155 and strong, a lot stronger than the first time we heard the heart beat a month ago. After the appointment we were scheduling our next appointment as well as the ultrasound. Lucky for us there was an opening just an hour later, so we quickly agreed to come back and went out to lunch, eagerly waiting for our time to go back and find out if we would be having a little Kali or a little Aiden. The ultrasound went great and everything was good and healthy. No complications.

Ok, as soon to be parents, I must admit that we have failed in our duty to keep everyone up to date on what is going on. As a quick and brief run through, Jessie is 20 weeks and 1 day along. Brief. She's healthy and happy. The baby is a true night owl. He sleeps during the day and when Jessie and I go to bed he takes the opportunity to practice his backflips, punching, and kicks, effectively keeping Jessie awake. Only twenty more weeks Jessie! She doesn't get sick anymore and her appetite is back and strong.

Here is a profile shot of Aiden. I say he's definitely got the Griffitts nose. Jessie says I can't tell that early. I definitely see it though. We'll see here in a few months. He's still bald though. haha.

This is his left arm, shoulder on the right hand on the left. Jessie says he was waving at us. Looks like a strong arm to me. My little boy! Not too skinny. Jessie is hoping for a fat baby, or as she puts it, "a baby with a bit of chub on it."

Yep, that's a penis! MY BOY!

Jessie and her belly! Her belly has been showing more and more everyday. I love it.

Another picture of the belly.
