The check up went well and the technician took loads of pictures. Every thing from the brain, (you can see both hemispheres) to the hard working heart (you can see all four chambers of the heart pumping away!) The spinal chord was fully developed as well as the tiny little toes! While pictures were being taken, the following conversations between Megan and the technician:
Megan: "Wow, are those the legs?"
Technician: "Yep, and you can see that the baby is sitting Indian style directly on your bladder."
Megan: " Oh, well how thoughtful. Man, those look like some long legs."
Technician smiles.
Megan: "Well, I guess my husband is 6'3"."
Technician: "Oh really, well that makes more sense now. (chuckle) I was measuring all the other limbs and getting normal numbers, but when I got to the legs I was a little surprised."
Megan: "Yea, I think the longest part to my husband is his shins!"
In walks Jimmy
Megan: "Your baby has long legs."
Jimmy: "Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!! They're gonna be a kicker!"
After a few more detailed pictures we arrived at the sex of the baby.
Drum roll please........................ITS a BOY!!!!!!!!!................
Megan's current due date is September 25 and she is now 19 weeks and 3 days pregnant!
Go Baby Kicker Go!
So it seems the only photos I can get of my pregnant wife
are via guerilla, stealth tactics...and while she is absorbed in a phone call. Here are 2 I took this weekend, the first (left) is as we were outfitting her in maternity clothes, the second (right), as she was observing our garden through the back window of our home.

Driving home from a function in Ocean City, Megan in passenger seat with seat belt securely fastened around her growing midsection. All of a sudden, in grand Garrity fashion, was not one kick, but an onslaught...kick, kick,k-ki-kick, kick, elbow, knee, elbow, elbow, knee...this could not be gas! Kicker even caused Megan to worry a bit and ask her st
omach "is everything ok?!?" We presume it is, and that he just likes the car.
