It's a boy!

We had the ultrasound this past Friday and got to see the little wiggly baby that's been making his presence known inside my belly for the last few weeks. Among hands and feet and dozens of other little body parts, we saw the important part that let us know he's a boy! It was such an amazing experience - I don't think I blinked once during the entire hour. Quite a difference from the first picture taken of him a mere 10 weeks ago!

To celebrate, we went to one of the best restaurants in San Francisco for dinner - Gary Danko's - and it did not disappoint. I had the 4 course tasting menu which started off with the most delicious lobster risotto, followed by seabass, then duck, and finally an amazing pineapple upside down cake (a slightly different version of the kind my brother always requested as his birthday cake with canned pineapple rings and maraschino cherries, but it reminded me of him just the same). Nick had glazed oysters, frogs legs, lamb, a cheese course, and chocolate souffle. We left happy and stuffed, and a little overwhelmed by the whole day.
