Baby Boy Betz

We had an extensive ultrasound the other day. We got to see every inch of the little guy! He kept one hand near his face -- you can see it up by his ear in the picture above. He kept his chin tucked down. He was very active.

We caught a few glimpses early in which we thought the baby might be a boy. The sonographer waited till the end to verify for sure. And sure enough he presented in a very clear way. We're viewing his bottom with feet tucked up toward the upper right in the picture below.

When we shared with Zane he was extremely excited. He processed it all afternoon. One point he came in the kitchen and said "Oh yeah! We're going to beat Vanessa with two boys! Yeah! We're going to take her down! BAM!!"

Zane was then excited to share with Vanessa when we picked her up from school. I made him promise to wait till we took her friends home. Okay, I bribed him. It didn't matter though because Vanessa came out of the school with her friends following close behind and immediately asked, "Well, is it a boy or girl? It's a girl?! It's a boy? Tell me." Her friend said she was going to guess boy from the look on Zane's face. We confirmed. Vanessa quickly started talking about possible names to distract herself from how she was convinced. Her friend suggested Steve after Minecraft. Zane likes Tommy after a Power Ranger . . .
