Yup, that’s a boy (and might I say I’m quite impressed). Congratulamations to one and all.

We wanted to know what ours was, but the durn thing had its legs crossed. Guess she was a little shy.

We actually managed to hold out, our daughter was born Tuesday night and we had no idea until they plucked her out. Good luck.

As my OB told me the day I found out my baby was a boy:

“That’s a scrotum if I’ve ever seen one!”

Congratulations!

And congratulations to **Gorgon Heap** on his new arrival!

Whew! I thought you were going to say you’ve already delivered! I’d seen several of your threads, and thought, whoah, isn’t this a little early?  
Congrats on the baby boy! Best wishes for a happy and healthy delivery (when the time is right! :))

I love the name Seamus! I think we’re having a girl the middle of May. Not sure yet. Not even sure I want to know before. We waited when our son was born, but this time, I just want one of each so bad that I kind of want to know.

Congratulations on the Heaplette!
