It's a. . . .

Stacy went to the hospital today for her ultra-sound. She was lucky enough to go to the Winnie Palmer Hospital. This hospital was a cross between a hotel, a Disney resort, and really good medical care. A very nice experience. The nurses were very nice and attentive.

While Stacy was laying on the table, she started to get pretty pale and uncomfortable. At one point she felt ready to pass out. The rest of the ultrasound was done while Stacy lay on her side. So she didn't get to see very many of these pictures until after the nurse was done.

This picture shows that the nose and lips are intact. No cleft palate. Whoo hoo!!

This photo proves that I am the father. Look at that giant foot! All six toes and everything!

OK, its time for the big reveal. We were lucky enough to find out the gender of the baby during this ultrasound.

If we are lucky, this will be the last time our boy's genitalia is posted on the internet.

Are you ready for the name?

Cavell Hogentobler Jensen

Cavell is Stacy's maternal Grandfather's first name and Hogentobler is Paul's Great, Great, Grandmother Amelia's maiden name (I think, I need to double check).

This is a big name, and I'm sure it will not fit into the boxes on standardized tests, but it is rich with nickname possibilities. Cal, Hogan, Toby, Gun. I'm sure we'll settle on a name when we meet him and get a feel for his spirit.

Putting Away the Silverware

Alayna likes to help put away the silverware. Warning, this video is almost 3 and a half minutes of a two year old putting away silverware. It's cute for the first minute, and then only grandmothers will be able to appreciate it.

Remember, you were warned. Watch this movie a second time at your own risk!

Razorback!!!

Alayna's favorite new game is Pass the Pig. We received the game as a gift from the Litke family at Christmas. Alayna has gotten quite good and has beaten her parents more often then not.

Pass the Pig has two plastic pig shaped "dice" that are thrown and how they land determines the score. Each pig position combination has a name and Alayna's favorite is Razorback, when one or both pigs land on their back.

Alayna's American Idol

This is an experiment in video blogging. If this works, you will see a video of Alayna singing into her microphone. She is quite the diva. After the talent show, you will be allowed unprecedented access into a behind the scenes view of Alayna preparing for the next show with her hairdresser.
