It's a Girl!

It looks as if both parents and everybody who was brave enough to make a public conjecture was right. The ultrasound technician is "100% sure" that our baby is a girl.



And look! She resembles a baby now!

Everything is GREAT. She is very healthy and weighs about 12 ounces now, which we were told makes her estimated age 20 weeks and one day. I'm actually 20 weeks and four days. We bought some lavender paint for the nursery, which we are going to paint today.

Baby bump picture!

John took this picture of me yesterday, in our newly finished basement. The carpet is so soft. I had been asking him to take some "baby bump" pictures, but now I think I should have said "baby hill" or "baby boulder."

Unscientific tests have shown that our baby is a girl. The authorities involved are a woman at our church who performs a ritual with a hair and a wedding band, and our minister, who has a good track record with these things.

Look at the Pretty Flower

Here's a picture of one (well, two) of my roses.

I went to the doctor again last week, and I was hoping to get a new picture, but I didn't. I did get to hear the baby's heartbeat, but honestly it just sounded like a heart. Whee.

Next major event: finding out the baby's sex! Do you think it's a boy? Do you think it's a girl? John and I are in agreement--now we'll have to see if we're right.
