Meet the Squishy
May 10, 2005
Pictures! Many, many pictures. All of which I am going to make you look at.
I am sorry, but clearly, this is the cutest baby in the history of ever. The nose! The toes! The "Oy vey, all this poking is giving me a headache" pose!

Jason: You know, because it's a boy? Our chances of giving birth to the antichrist are bigger now.
Amy: Did you just imply that our precious unborn son is going to be the antichrist?
Jason: DAMIEN! IT'S ALL FOR YOU!

Our ultrasound technician was a highly nervous and excitable Indian man who at one point stopped the exam to order Jason back to his little chair after he'd gotten up to get a closer look at the television screen.
Ultrasound Tech Man: I am sorry, sir, but I am afraid I will not be comfortable if you keep creeping up behind me like that, sir.
Jason: Okay... (sits back down, looks at Amy like, what, did he think I was going to knock him out and go on the lam with a stolen ultrasound machine?)
Ultrasound Tech Man: Look at that beautiful little arm!

Okay, I'll admit it. Like the vast majority of my readers, I thought I was having a girl. I just assumed that since I'm a girl, my body would naturally only produce its own kind. A boy is like, a different species or something.
The idea that I've created a little man, with little man parts, kind of blows my mind.

After showing us the boy parts, he turned around and gave us a look at his bottom, which I just want to pinch because it's so cute.
I am going to spend a lot of money on diapers for that little butt.

Amy: What if he doesn't like me?
Jason: (leans over, kisses Amy on forehead) Don't worry, baby, he's going to hate you.
(Don't you love our sense of humor? Don't you think we're totally ready to be parents?)
I can't say I'd blame him for hating me, though, if this habit of posting pictures of his little private parts with big arrows continues much longer.

This is my son. My little tiny man. I promise to play sports with you and tell you that it's okay to cry sometimes and whether that shirt goes with those pants.
I can't wait to meet you.
forget the cute butt, look at that CUTE WIDDLE FACE!!!
yes, i said widdle. don't be a hater. it's cute.
yay, yay, YAY! he's going to totally be the only boy in preschool who knows how to post a picture on a blog and edit comments.
He's a keeper!
You can totally see his wee brains in that first one. What a cute little genius he is!
Yay congrats! And I guessed right!
I am so very happy for you, what a lucky little boy to have you as a Mom.
Yeah, just wait until he's a pre-adolescent and decides that Axe body spray TOTALLY replaces the need for any type of shower or bath-type activity. Clearly Laura up-thread and I are sisters in 12-year-old armpit-smelling. And then you say "how did my life get to be this?"
Anyway, congrats. My sister is having a boy, and we all totally thought it was a girl, and now we enjoy taunting her by saying SCROTUM repeatedly. Something to consider.

A boy! A Boy! Congratulations! Welcome to the world of peeing on the edge of the toilet, little league, and lots of love. I'm so happy for you. :)
What beautiful pictures Amy....I'm thrilled for you....
If you can get the 4D scan, I highly encourage it...we did (posted up at my blog) and it was amazing. Congrats!
YAY! Congrats to both of you! I don't know if I can call him Squishy, but whoever posted 'Boybalah'... I can go with that :)
Congrats congrats, congrats! Much love!
Congratulations on the baby! You should be very proud of Squishy - he's adorable:) I talked the ultrasound tech into video taping my ultrasound for me (he could have gotten fired for that), so I got about 8 minutes of awesome "live" footage when I was about 6 months along (Jared was a September baby, too:)). Seems like just yesterday - but he's 17 *sigh*.
Enjoy it, and hope you find just the right daycare.
Laura
He is absolutely precious!
I am also v. jealous of you because your little boy cooperated and showed you his man parts. In all of our many ultrasounds we were never able to get a good reading of the gender. My doctor guessed it was a girl but would never commit. So we were genuinely surprised that it was a boy!
Congratulations.
