Today was the official ultrasound day. There has been much speculation as to the gender of our forthcoming baby and I do believe that most, if not all, speculators have agreed that the time has come for the Jones family to finally receive a boy. Ian has been telling everyone that he's sure it's a girl...partially to prepare himself for what he called the "inevitable". I have had no intuition at all for which I've been slightly disappointed. (Aren't we, as women, entitled to that whole women's/mother's intuition? Apparently not.)So, our family took a little field trip to the doctors office today and were able to see the first pictures of Jones Junior # 3. Any guesses yet?
I've been playing around with the idea of not actually posting the gender...to make all of you as anxious with anticipation as I have been the last 20 weeks. But I figured I might be lynched if I did. So, here we go: IT'S A...
That's right...I knew that the Lord had a sense of humor, and here's a wonderful example of it. I have to admit I almost cried. Not out of joy. Out of sheer TERROR. So, we'll all be able to get a great laugh as I attempt to be a mother to a baby boy. Holy crap.

YEAH! I'm so excited for you! Boys are totally do-able! Fun for something different. Congrats!
Boys are great...they really love their mommies! I am glad I got one out of the three hormonal girls I have! Congrats!
Congratulations! Everybody needs to experience both. Boys and girls are so different but equally challenging and delightful.
You'll love it, I promise.
Yeah Amy! How fun. Don't worry, you will be great!
Amy!!! I am sooo excited for you. You really are going to love having a little boy. I actually can't even believe it!! Don't be scared you will be a great mom to a little boy. I bet Ian is excited. Tell him congrats! Any names?
Congratulations!! You are going to be a great mom of a little boy!! I personally think that they are much easier than little girls! Again, Congrats!!
We have absolutely NO ideas yet for names. So far he's being addressed as Baby Dexter because Lindy thinks it would be great to name him after the monkey in Night at the Museum. She also suggested Rexy (after the dinosaur). Needless to say, we are looking for names to replace monkey & fossil namesakes.
Yay! I'm so happy for you!! Boys are so much fun..you are going to be amazed at how different the bond is between you and Baby Boy!! Can't wait to hear all about him pulling his sisters' hair! :)
