It's a boy????

I went today to have my sonogram and do some tests for down's syndrome and spina bifida. The tests looked fine...but the ultrasound technician was able to give me his 'educated guess' as to the sex of the baby. He said that in a girl, the genital region is usually angled at 30 degrees. Well...the baby's area was angled at 90 degrees!!! I would say that is a boy...or we will have some great stories for a little girl! Of course...Travis had to work and Jana was with me at the appointment, so she got to hear the news first! I did call Travis as soon as I left the appointment though :).

Week 12

I went for my second appointment on December 18th. I did have to wait about 2 hours to see my doctor today, but I was able to see my friend Liz (who had twins in November) and my friend Lisa (who is due 6 weeks before me) in the waiting room. Everything was fine at the appointment. The heartbeat was now 159...and I had gained 3 more pounds. The doctor did give me the option for going in to have a sonogram and some blood tests the next week to check and make sure the baby was developing correctly. I jumped on it, partly because I am such a worry wart, but mostly so I could have another sonogram!!
