The ultrasound went great! We learned a few interesting things about our baby boy such as; he's breech (head up towards my head) and he's extremely active. The ultrasound tech commented several times on how unusual it is for babies to do the kind of things he was doing. For instance, he was moving his arms and hands around like crazy and showing off his fingers. Then, he did the same with his legs and feet. She said that he seems very friendly and that he's photogenic. At one point he even took his hands and played with his feet. It was absolutely adorable. The ultrasound tech told us that she wishes she had babies like this all day, and that it's really rare to see this kind of activity. The baby's measurements are perfect and he's right on target for August 4th. He currently weighs 10 ounces.
Here are some photos from the ultrasound...

How we told our friends the baby's gender...
We ordered specialty cupcakes from BeeBakes with gender specific vanilla cream and brought them to our friends, Shea and Emily's house. Once they bit into them, they knew the gender! They were cute and delicious!
How we told the Social Networking World (Facebook)...
We posted the following picture
Notice anything special? This is our first family photo as a family of three!
Week 19: Mango
Average size: 6.0 inches, 8.5 oz.
Vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid. (Picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.) You might actually get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.
