Baby2 has a penis. The Boy is getting a little brother.
On the ultrasound, Baby2 appeared perfectly healthy. He also seems to be perfectly rotten. He rolled and kicked and poked so much against the ultrasound wand's pressure, I nearly got sick. My forehead got sweaty and my tongue got thick and I had to roll over on my side to feel better. Meanwhile, The Boy was bored with the black-and-white pictures of his brother and was pushing a chair around the room. I'm not sure which child was busier. The husband and I are going to have our hands full with these dirty, stinky boys.
I'd post a picture of Baby2's cute little fetus profile or his little toes, but that would require a scanner, so you'll have to wait.
In the meantime, a question: What shall we call this boy? I need a real name, too, but right now, I'm looking for a blog name. I don't use The Boy's real name here, though many of you know it, because I figure it's not fair for me to fill up Google searches of the Boy's name with tales of diaper rash and tantrums. So, I call him The Boy, something the husband and I have always done. ("Is The Boy down for the night? Does The Boy need a butt change?") But my mom wondered what the heck I would do if another boy came along. I jokingly said he, Baby2, could be The Lad. What about The Brother? What do you think?

El Nino? Sorry, bad hurricane humor but doesn't El Nino come this year? ;)
A little boy! (In practical thoughts, think of all the clothes you'll get to reuse!)
I like The Brother. Or The Baby?
since my husband is an engineer & loves numbers, we called our 2nd baby in utero 'j2' (junior 2). BUT i like the lad. or you could call him the rotten bean? (that sounds a bit harsh, eh?)
Yay! Brothers!
So I think "Little Brother" would be a very appropriate name.
The Brother!!
Congrats on another boy! Yay!!
i like "the Lad."
A co-worker of mine has three kids, the youngest of which will be a soph. in high school this year. She often forgot his name among the other two siblings and resorted to calling him Thing. I'm not kidding. So Thing is always an option.
The Buddy?
Congratulations! I *love* The Buddy. It sounds so cute.
Yippee! Congratulations.
