Twelve Weeks and Healthy

Here's the lastest of our littlest love (2.5 inches to be exact).


I guess the baby was in a perfect position to take measurements and check out his/her anatomical health. All looks fine, but we'll find out more next week when the blood results come back.

The technician showed us on the ultrasound screen how she identifies the gender of the baby this early. If a certain "area" (couldn't tell you if it was external or internal genitalia) was pointing up it was most likely a girl, pointing down most likely a boy, and if it was straight ahead she had no idea. So guess what our baby "area" was doing? Yep, straight ahead. No guess.

Thankfully the doctor gave us his guess (although he didn't sound overly confident), but we had to agree to some ground rules first.
1) No shopping
2) No painting
3) No telling Grandma
So you guys are all just going to have to wait until Sep 12th (just six weeks) to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl.

I'm thinking that looks like a boy (haa haa). I'm so happy to hear the baby is doing just fine. How's Mama?
