We had our ultrasound today and the baby curled into a ball with his feet near his head so that we could get a clear shot of his area, leaving us without a doubt as to what he was. I don't think we needed the ultrasound tech to tell us what it was - it was pretty obvious. So he certainly showed us his stuff in all his glory!
We're pretty sure we have the name picked out, but we're going to keep it a secret until he's born! (Something has to be surprise!)
I've posted three pictures below. In the first one, you can see a good outline of its head. In the next one, you can see his body curled and his feet above his head. Then the tech took a picture between his legs, and there it is! (You can click on the picture for a larger view)
Otherwise, they said everything else looked really good. We could see the heart beating and the tech pointed out other organs as she took measurements of everything. He looks to be pretty healthy!

Congrats!!!! He's not only adorable but, oh, so modest. I love all babies but have a definite soft spot for baby boys - they just seem so easy going compared to girls. I can't wait to meet him and hold him.
Yay! I'm so happy for you guys...can't wait to meet him.
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you guys! Doesn't it feel more real now? We had so much fun at our ultrasound. Glad to hear he's healthy!
My grandson isn't born yet and he already has lewd pictures of himself on the internet.
He's absolutely adorable! And good thing he's not camera shy with the families he's being born into. I'm so excited and I love him already.
I can't believe I'm going to have a grandson!! I'm so excited!! Can't wait til he gets here. He's going to be rotten, you know that, don't you?
Congratulations!!! This is such an exciting time for you both. I definitely have a soft spot for boys-even though there is so much more neat things to buy for little girls... Can't wait to see him.
Hmmm...is the world ready for another little Patrick? :) Ha! Congratulations. But I'm sorry guys...those ultrasound photos mystify me! The first one, ok, that looks like a baby. The rest just look like outer space photos. :) What can I say, I'm a baby novice.
I'm SO happy for you guys!!! I can't wait to meet him! And since you're teasing us about a name and your blog is P&J's Growing Pains, I'm going to call him PJ! You know me - everybody gets a nickname! : ) Kisses to PJ! love, bean
Boy Oh Boy...but can y'all go nearly 5 months without leaking his name? I hope not!
Now Uncle Joe and I can start thinking blue.
We can't wait!
Congratulations! A little Patrick. How exciting for you both. I'm so glad things are going well. Thanks for sharing with the blog.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing the news. Now I know what to buy for the little man. Sounds like you guys are doing great. Keep it up!
P-J,
Congratulations! That is exciting news. I'm very happy for you. Make sure you bring him by the camera store so we can meet him! Take care,
Chris
We are so excited for you both! Congrats on the baby boy! Aren't ultrasounds the most amazing experience? Seeing the little peanut kick and squirm really makes it real. You two are going to have a blast with a boy. I can see all the LSU and UNC baby gear now. BTW Jessica- You look too cute pregnant.
Congrats!! that is so exciting, I think I need my boy next!! Then it will be time for you to have your next child!! You have to catch up now!!
Long live the Harrell boys! And cars and trucks and dinosaurs and Legos and all things loud, in constant motion, muddy, slimey and, well, boy. I'm thrilled for you both. Love, Laura
We are so excited about your healthy baby boy! He looks perfect:) You look so cute in your Halloween pictures...your fish bowl baby bump is too cute!!! We hope to see you guys at Big Mama's for Christmas!
Ok, here we go! I am finally leaving a comment.
So this is going to be my attempt to rally the troops....don't all of you think that Jess should tell me the baby's name? I mean I am the cool aunt and I just want to make sure that he has a cool name.
On a serious note, it was very exciting to find out ya'll are having a boy. I can't wait to meet the little guy. Keep posting pictures.
Lizards and frogs and worms... Boys are fun!!! LuLu

Congrats, Jessica and Patrick! Colleen was kind enough to send the link to your blog. It's been forever since I've seen you Patrick!

Boy oh Boy! The stories that I could tell! But LuLu didn't warn me, so why should I give you the advantage! Honestly, we are so happy for you both. Needless to say, Adam is thrilled to be adding more testosterone to the family mix. He and Chase were really beginning to feel outnumbered! I can just see Patrick as Cub Scout leaders to a bunch of mini "Nature Boys"! Be afraid, be very afraid!
We love you all and can't wait to see you for Christmas.
Love,
Geaux Tigers,
Aunt Sandy
