The next ultrasound was big! On December 11th, Brook's birthday, Annie and Brook discovered their little BEN had a face! A head! All the other body parts too (in miniature)! What a birthday surprise! But that wasn't the only birthday surprise...

Brook's dad had always wanted a grandson and the ultrasound photos provided undeniable evidence of something...

Yep! That was the evidence! It looked like BEN was definitely going to be a boy! Pop would have been so happy! Annie told her parents at Christmas using Skype over the Internet (and proudly showed them the becoming-noticeable bump of her tummy). Now the word was out!
