Pregnant Jane ready for the ultrasound!
It has been a very, very long day for Jane and I! We both didn’t get much sleep at all because we were so excited about the ultrasound today. The day has been so long, I barely remember even writing the blog post before this one and had some good laughs at myself! So that means I’m either going crazy or I’m in need of much needed sleep.
The day started out pretty rough once we left the house. I’ll let Jane fill you guys in on all of those details because she was not nice to me. Yes, sadly I got to see the fire-breathing dragon again thanks to those pregnancy hormones kicking in – and there was no way for me to escape. I was trapped in the car and just kept my mouth shut, which is *sometimes* a way to tame the pregnancy hormones and fire-breathing dragon they create!
Here is Jane getting the BIG ultrasound!
Sometimes I just never know when those hormones are going to kick in. Sometimes I never know what to say or how to react. And 9.9 times out of ten, my reaction is the opposite of what I should have done or said… or not done or said. I’ve learned a few weeks ago that the pregnancy hormone battle is not a battle a father-to-be can win!
Anyway, today was a good day. Everything went VERY well and the ultrasound went GREAT. Our baby is in perfect health, everything checked out fine and the doctor even wrote A+ on the report! Sadly, she needed to keep the report so I wasn’t able to take that with us. That was our child’s first A+ and we are so proud! Heck, I don’t think I ever received an A+ in my life! So I know you guys are all wondering…
Because of the ultrasound today and learning if we’re having a boy or girl, has everything REALLY started to set in for both Jane and I? The answer is YES. Everything has become VERY real now! It’s amazing the difference that just one day makes. Fatherhood is setting in like crazy. Lots of thinking I want and need to do this evening.
Here is a picture of our baby when we learned boy or girl!
Other than that, as I mentioned above, Jane will be posting in a little while when she wakes up from her nap. She only got what, about 3 hours of sleep? That’s not enough for a pregnant girl at all! Worst case, if she sleeps the rest of the evening, then she’ll post and fill you in on our REALLY REALLY exciting day! It’s so incredible to finally know if we’re having a boy or girl and it’s so great to share this with all of you!
You guys have really helped us so much over the past month and a half and we REALLY appreciate you stopping by and commenting on our blog posts. Reading all of your replies, stories, suggestions, etc. has been amazing. So thanks again! And Jane and I are so so so so excited!!!! Whoooo Hoooooo!
P.S… The answer to the question, “are we having a boy or girl” is secretly hidden within the above post. Can you unlock the secret code? Or will the sex of our baby remain a secret forever!?
Oh… and here’s a picture of my beautiful pregnant Jane in the elevator after the ultrasound:
Too bad you can't see her HUGE smiling face after learning the BIG news!

J.D.’s last blog post..Orgasmic Dream
What! I can’t even do crossword puzzles. Don’t leave me hanging dude!
I think it’s a girl. Not sure where it’s “hidden” but that’s my guess! : )
You do realize we will find you and injure you if you don’t come out and tell us soon. I reread the whole thing and highlighted it all to see if it was somehow hidden in there. You must tell us AND SOON. Please, pretty pretty please.

When is your due date, mine is July 20th and when I went last week they couldn’t get a good enough shot to tell what it was.
SO I’M THINKING ITS A BOY BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE *CAPITALIZATION* ESPECIALLY THE *BIG* ULTRASOUND AND THE *BIG*.
If you want a hint – go to Jane’s Twitter page… she is about to drop some hints!
http://www.twitter.com/hisboyscanswim
Ok I’ve read, reread and reread again and I’m still not figuring out this secret code. I’m thinking boy as Tarzan often says “guys” in the post of course now that I think about it maybe he says that all the time.

I say boy… because every time he says boy 1st each time
J.D.’s last blog post..Orgasmic Dream
No one has figured it out correctly yet! Jane is still dropping hints on Twitter!
Go to: http://www.twitter.com/hisboyscanswim
I’m going to put up a PRIZE!
I always say boy or girl for some reason boy comes first for most people when they say it, but I’m guessing boy because of the first hint !
Come on people! Check out the first letter of each paragraph! ITSABOY!!! CONGRATULATIONS! I am so excited for you. As much as I wanted a girl, I am so glad that my first was a boy! I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Formerlymac’s last blog post..Things Have Been Crazy!
I thought about that too JD but wasn’t sure if it was just naturally how Tarzan writes. I say girl before boy naturally.
Cent Saving Mom’s last blog post..Do You Have Swag? (Limited Swagbucks Code Available For MTC Readers)
I think its a girl. BIG is Baby Is Girl?

How about a 3 letter correlation for the code…you know BIG and BOY each are three letter words starting with B. Am I out on a limb here?

Yes, if you look at each letter of every paragraph, you will see it spells out…

Oh and CONGRATS Tarzan and Jane – have fun picking out baby boy stuff!
Damn!! Formerlymac is so right! You’re smart!
IT’S A BOY!!!!
J.D.’s last blog post..Orgasmic Dream
It’s a Boy! Due To all of your ‘Y’ words (REALLY, YES) and ending in ‘Y’ as in ‘Y’ chromosome, as in male chromosome…congrats! xoxo
p>I think it’s a girl.
Ha ha ha! Thanks guys!
Those of you who have been reading our blog over the last month and 1/2, you should know us better that to just spill the beans on ‘boy or girl’ without having some fun first.
Poor Jane’s mom… I swear she was 3 minutes away from calling the hospital to see what was going on because we took a little while to call people so we could enjoy the moment by ourselves for awhile.
Jane will share the story with you guys soon.
What a day! Whew! Thanks for all the congrats everyone. I’m a proud father. My son got an A+ today!
Girl=That’s not enough for a pregnant girl at all!
I have guessed all along (judging from the shape of the belly) that the baby is a boy! My first born baby is also a boy. Welcome to the club of first-born-boy!
IT’S A BOY!!! First letter of every paragraph!
Mia’s last blog post..miacupcake: @SaakeeOTG Wha…..? Srsly? That’s not impressive. That’s K2 not figuring out how to use a keyboard properly.
Hey Alice – you’re right! You mentioned that many blog posts ago about the shape of Jane’s belly and how you thought she had a boy in there. You were right!
95% of the old wives tales were wrong! LOL (A subject Jane will be blogging about I’m sure tonight or tomorrow.)
Right now she’s going CRAZY trying to keep up with everyone talk to her on Twitter right now.
She is CRACKING UP right now – I think she’s waking up… Hmmmm… You know what I’m thinking…
If you guys want to talk to Jane live right now – she’s at: http://www.twitter.com/hisboyscanswim
If you’re not a Twitter user, it’s totally free: http://www.twitter.com (and addicting!)
I figured it out!!
Should I spill??
Congratulations!!
Whooo hooooo!
Helen’s last blog post..Ooh La La Mama! Start Your Bids!
Yeah I see it’s the first letter of each of the last three paragraphs:-) I just wasn’t sure I was allowed to tell!
Helen’s last blog post..Ooh La La Mama! Start Your Bids!
Hi Helen, I wonder if some folks aren’t seeing the other comments on the post? I see some other folks posted answers awhile after my secret little puzzle was solved. Hmmm…. Will have to look into that.
And thanks so much! We really appreciate it!
Congrats! A boy,how exciting… my husbands swimmers only make girls… good luck with him!
Congratulations! I have four boys myself and they are a real challenge each in their own way.
Great news!
P.S. I made your samples before I knew what you were having so you’ll get a mix. You’ll see what I mean.
Heather
Hey Guys
congrats on your little boy
Im so excited for you, been checking the blog all day waiting to find out
only 2 weeks away myself from finding out the sex of our little bundle of joy
Okay– so I cheated and just read the comments to find out the answer!
But CONGRATS on the boy! How exciting! Now for the fun of coming up with boy names and little boy nursery themes!
Lisa’s last blog post..Ahem…I hate self promotion…but….
Congratulations on your healthy baby boy!! Boys are the best, you guys are going to have so much fun!
Tarzan,
This method of looking at the shape of the belly is practised by Malaysians (but not all Malaysians of course!), but I’m not sure whether other Asians use this method or not. And this method is usually accurate
Congrats! So happy for you.

Teri’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday: Yesterday
I love the fact that your blog is mostly BLUE and that it’s titled his BOYS can swim, even though I realize that was coincidence:-)
Helen’s last blog post..Ooh La La Mama! Start Your Bids!
GONGRATS!!!!!!! Ultrasounds are so fun! We also had our BIG 20 week ultrasound yesterday and found out we’re having a girl!
Everyone in our families thought it was a boy except me so it felt good to be proven right
My husband’s family already has tons of little girls so they were happy the baby is healthy but really wanted a boy. For my family this is the first grandbaby so they were happy either way!
CONGRATS!!!! Woo hoo!!!!
Thanks again everyone! Whooo Hoooo is right!
And look at that… when I picked out the colors for our blog, I picked blue. Maybe I had a feeling all along! I was actually wondering what we’d do if we had a girl as far as the colors on our site lol.
Happy news! May your little dude absolutely rock your world!
its a boy if you look after wondering… the first letters of the paragraphs are B O Y!!! its a boy!!! congrats guys!!!
