It's a... BABY!

Sorry, we don't want to find out... so we're not going to let you know if it's a boy or girl... because we just don't know! As a matter of fact, the ultrasound tech was excited that we wanted to be surprised... she said out of the 10-15 ultrasounds she does a week, normally only one couple doesn't want to know. I originally really wanted to know the sex, but now I'm excited to be surprised! It also gives me something to "push for" at the end!!!

So, here are some pictures from the ultrasound this morning... Here's Thumper from the side... his/her right hand is up at the side of their face. You can obviously see the nose, forehead, and big belly... and then his/her knees are tucked up near his belly.







In this picture, the mouth is open a little, so you can see the lower jaw... again, the right arm is still up to the side of the face.

Here the baby is looking at us! You can see the outline of the skull... and the white area is the nose. The baby's hand is now over his/her right eye.


And finally... my favorite picture! THUMPER IS SMILING AT US!!! The scanner didn't really do this one justice, but there is a defined open smiling (or yawning) mouth. SO CUTE!!!



The due date is now May 25, 2009... and the baby's current weight is 1 pound 6 ounces. I've gained 10 pounds... which is really good! Not too much, not too little. Just right! ;o)
