New Poll!

So, we've been scratching our heads for the last few weeks of a name that we can give our baby boy. We're thankful for all the suggestions that people gave, and they helped a lot in the name picking process. So, after all our thinking and searching for names we came across a few that have made it far enough in the selection process to put it to a vote. We've listed 5 different name combinations(only 4 different names), and we are curious to know what people like hearing better. As with our last poll we would invite you to leave a comment here stating which name you voted for, so we can put a name with the votes. For those of you who have already voted, please feel free to leave a comment here. We're totally excited for our baby, and we're now under 100 days left. We're going to try to get another belly picture or a few up soon. Thanks for everything!

...and the Winner is...

On monday morning Jonah and I went to her Dr. to have her regular pre-natal check-up. We asked the doc if we could have a request slip for an ultrasound. I was a little surprised by the doctor's response, because she said that we probably won't be able to find out the sex this early, but we could always try. It made me laugh, because in the States, people find out at 20 weeks, but here they usually wait until the 7th month. So, she gave us the request, and we went to the ultrasound center to see baby.

It was a little blurry, and kind of confusing at first, but we were able to figure out what exactly we were looking at. Apparently, baby was turned away from the camera, and the specialist had a hard time locating what we were looking for. So, she had Jonah turn on her side to see if maybe we could find a good angle. I decided that I would take video of the ultrasound, because I knew that they wouldn't be able to give us a copy of it. Here is the little clip that we took, where you can see the gender(if you know what you're looking at), and a nice shot of baby's face.



...It's a boy!!!!

We were both a little shocked when we heard the result, and both very excited for baby. Now our next big challenge will be thinking of a name. We would like to hear what suggestions you might have. We both decided that we would like baby's initials to be both of our first initials, J and M, but it doesn't really matter what order.

Also, the due date was pushed up almost a whole week. I guess baby is getting big faster than usual, haha. The new due date is October 24, just like his Monkey Mike(who, in his prediction, said that in 19 years our baby would be the next Elder Scott, and a very powerful missionary).

For those of us who guessed girl, we'll just have to wait until next time.
