It's a boy!

We found out today that Joey is going to get a little baby brother! So when we got home from the ultrasound, mommy dug out her old-school preemie boy Cabbage Patch Kid, Herbert (I didn't choose the name - that's what came on his birth certificate) to help Joey get used to the idea of having a little brother around the house. He looks like he's ready to be a big brother, don't you think?

We were all thrilled to find out the baby boy news, but the doctor also did see some abnormalities that he didn't feel quite comfortable with. So we ultimately decided to do an amniocentesis today to get a definitive answer on whether or not our little boy has any chromosomal issues. We should get results back in 10-14 days.

In other news, Joey has been feverish and congested for the last few days so last night we took him to the doctor and found out that he is fighting his first ear infection. Our guy is a total champ and although he's obviously annoyed with the runny nose and irritating earache, he's just as happy as ever!
