The wife and I had the big anatomy scan ultrasound just recently. It is now confirmed that the baby developing inside her body as we live and breathe is indeed a boy. As I mentioned in this blog's title, we've settled on his first name being "Avery". He's named after the great animation genius Tex Avery of course. Will my son live up to the amazing legacy of Tex? Um......... geez! Way to put pressure on a kid before he's even out of the womb. Back off a bit, you weirdo!
Based on what my wife has experienced so far in being Avery's portable incubator, we're sure he's going to a spry and energetic little man who will give us plenty of excitement and exercise. I'm sure he can't wait to come out and meet us all as well.

See! He's already giving the world a big thumbs up. He's ready for us, but are we ready for him?
Also, according to my wife, Avery likes to kick and punch a lot inside there. All fetuses (feti?) do that to some degree. But, that seems to be Avery's favourite activity so far. So, in that spirit, I've created an artist's rendering of what Avery could look like when he finally out of the womb.
Is this accurate? Well, he's due in September so we'll know for sure by then. I'll certainly keep everyone posted when that happens.
A preliminary welcome to the world, little Avery. We can't wait to meet you.
