for those who didnt know, my wife is pregnant, and we just got back from her 31 week sonogram. it is a boy.
everything was looking fine.. the heart, stomach, and bladder were forming well. the heart rate was 142 beats a minute, and the weight is approx 4 3/4 lbs. using normal growth rates, they expect the baby to be 7 1/2 lbs at full term. arms and legs had all fingers and toes, and it was in breech position at last sonogram, but has flipped, and is now head down. we will be doing a scheduled c-section during the 2nd week of august
this will be my second child, and last if i have any control over it. dont get me wrong, kids are cool, but i never was a big fan of 'eight is enough' or 'the waltons'. plus, those dang kids are cutting into my HT funds.

Congrats!
I have nothing valuable to say here, because I'm not a parent.

Congrats, John! I didn't know this was kid #2.
I'm curious, is the C-section for health reasons? Don't answer if I'm being too nosy or personal.

jacob(our first) was born due to an emergency c-section. so once they do one c-section, they just do the rest that way. i dont know the scientific logic behind it, but thats what they said they were gonna do. shannon teaches anatomy/gen phys. at the local college, so if there was something goofy with their decision, she would know..
plus, i think she dont mind getting to miss the whole labor pains anyway.

John, so you are adding to SA's population. Glad to hear everything is well with mom and child. I have two (12 and 16) and that is enough. My plan is to retire in 10 years when my daughter is 22 and hopefully out of college.
Best wishes, John

Looks good, John, but seven more and you could have a baseball team.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Very happy for you both, John. I may have missed it, but did you say your firstborn is also a boy? I'm guessing that because you said you wanted a girl

Whoa, Jack... how's the Old Timer's disease?
