51 of you...

...had a good shot of getting it right, and it was a good guess too!

Little "Ron" is measuring right on time (even a few days ahead) with all the proper parts and structures. A true sight to behold, and we are so incredibly grateful.

And now we no longer have to guess if "Ron" is in fact a "Ron" because....





















Ron is definitely a BABY BOY!!!!

We are over the moon and so in love with this little boy already. He has my nose and feet (big!) and Mook's cute little head and lips.

This is love. Pure and so powerful.

Have a gander at Ron's lovely glamor shots from today. Look on the right side column, and click on Ron's picture. Scroll to the bottom for most recent pictures!

Thank you for all your thoughts and support today!

    I can't see sweet Ron's glamour shots. Cletus is doing cartwheels right now, he's so excited for a little buddy! We'll have Mel's sweet girl to teach them how to be nice to the ladies. ;)

  17. MrsSpockOctober 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM

    Your mother's instinct must be strong- you've called him Ron from the beginning...
