It's a... BOY! We had our sonogram on July 18th and they found a winky!!! The week count is 20/22 (baby/Ash) right now. I'll put the sonogram pic up as soon as I can scan it in. Things went very well as they did a 20 minute anatomical survey. At first the gender thing was a little sketchy because he likes to move A LOT! He's been an active little bugger for about 2.5 weeks now and was all over the place during the sonogram. At the end she went back looking for the "bits-n-pieces" which came in much clearer. (Yes, there is a third grade level satisfaction in finding silly ways to say penis! Sorry mom!) We were pretty much emotionally neutral when told it was a boy. Honestly, we would've been just as happy either way. It's nice now to be one-track minded and thinking boy thoughts. NAME? Yeah, we're kicking some around. The middle name will be John (Ash's dad's first and my dad's middle). "Cale" has been a consideration along with "Jadon" but another has launched to the top. While at NYC (youth convention in St. Louis, MO) there was a worship song playing as the names for God flashed across the screen. While spelling out Adonai (Hebrew for Lord/Yahweh) each letter faded in before the next. When I saw "ADONai" it just popped... Adon (pronounced Aiden) John Maier. That could change of course but we both really like it and like how it was inspired.

Congratulations!!! Boys are so much fun :) Since I grew up with all girls in the family, I didn't know much about baby boys so I'll pass on my wordly advice since I've had 6 months of practice -- make sure the little winky is pointing down when you put on the diaper the first few months. Otherwise pee will leak out of the top of the diaper and get all over his clothes, the sheets, etc! I figured that one out the hard way :)
