It's a BOY!

As many of you know, Baby Cronk #3 is on the way!  Baby is due August 22.

We finally got to see the baby on ultrasound this evening and found out that our third little one is a BOY!  Austin was right again!  When I was pregnant with Sarah, Austin was adamant that she would be a girl. This time around, he concluded that since I "already grew a girl baby in [my] tummy" this baby would be a boy.  Though his logic is flawed, he was still right!  Sarah went back and forth, but the majority of the time, she claimed it was a "sister baby".  She's excited about having a baby brother, too!
A nice profile of our little guy...
He was all curled up in an odd position, breech, tucked down low in my pelvis, and super wiggly, so it was tough to get good photos of him.  The ultrasonographer had to do some tricks and try out a bunch of different views to find and measure all his little parts.

A few other pics...
One of his arms.
You can see the radius and ulna running parallel and the hand and fingers on the left of the photo.
Legs.
This one all stretched out. Foot on the left, thigh extending to the right.
Other leg - all curled up in this view.
Thigh on top of photo, knee on the left, lower leg below and foot on the bottom right of the photo.
 Cute little feet.
 We saw baby yawning, swallowing, and even sucking his thumb!
 A not-quite-profile shot, but shows him sucking his thumb.
 Definitely a BOY!
His back is on the bottom of this photo, one of his legs is curled up and seen extending out to the left of the photo (with lower leg and foot above) and in the middle of the photo are the boy parts.

Steve took video of the screen during the ultrasound on my iPhone.  Given that it was video taping a screen, the resolution is not the greatest and there is not much grayscale - more black and white, so tough to tell what it really looked like in person.  The video is a total of 40 minutes long, so I'm trying to figure out how to upload it.  I'll post a link when I get it figured out.
