Bash Brothers

The above image is of our newest baby. Taken today. 

For years I've seen ultrasound pictures of babies and pretended to know what I was looking at. "Oh that's cool," I'd say; when all I really saw was a Rorschach image of indefinable black and white shapes. 

Now I know what to look for. In today's case, we were looking for the gender.

To help those who still view rolls of ultrasound images as some kind of parents-only inside joke, I've added a creative border. In this case, the border is to aid in the announcement of our baby's gender. 

I thought about posting the picture of him with his legs spread and the ultrasound tech's caption that said "It's a Boy!" accented by a little tiny hand pointing at the definable quality. But I didn't want to start this kid's life off by posting a photo of his member online. 

We're very excited. Kicker has a little brother who has yet to earn a name. The evidence on the ultrasound picture was unmistakable, but we asked the doctor just to be sure.

"You're positive it's a boy?" We asked.
To which he answered, "If it ends up being a girl, it'll be a big surprise."

We've been surprised enough in the past year-and-a-half; don't push us.
