Crystal and I got married!

March 4, 2005
Here's the latest ultrasound pics, done at First Glimpse in Baton Rouge...it's a boy! Crystal and I stopped in on our way to Lafayette in the hopes of confirming whether lil Dude was a boy or a girl. It was the day after week 16 started, which is about the earliest they recommend you can do this. It was very cool and emotional (for me...I'm a wimp...tears of joy that I don't have to buy dresses! ) to watch, and we ended up with a 40+ minute DVD of lil Dude squirming away, plotting his great escape...still a bit too early for the 3-D ultrsound, which shows more defined features, but they gave us a pic anyway. Very clear evidence of fingers, toes, Crystal's long legs, and, uh, the Poole's family jewels...; ) Crystal is obviously made of Jell-O, or some other undetermined gelatinous substance...
