Baby Update

Well, we're now at twenty-one weeks, about half way along. To "show" or not to "show" seems to be the question. I feel like I'm showing, but for other folks it seems to depend on what I'm wearing. I also have a new trick - spilling on myself! I was making zucchini brownies the other night, and looked down to see my baby bump liberally sprinkled with flour! Since then, I've become a very conscientious apron wearer. ;-)

And now for the really exciting stuff: we've had our first sonogram! Words cannot describe the wonder and delight of first seeing that new little person! I remember seeing Matthew's ultrasound about thirteen years ago, but these pictures were much clearer than what I remembered. Head, feet, spine, toes and fingers were all quite obvious. We even got to see a little thumb pop into that tiny mouth!

And here is our first picture of our little girl! Yes, you read that right, GIRL. Our report says "Inconclusive", but the nurse said she was about 90% sure we were looking at a little girlie. For some reason I can't get the above paragraph to do any color but blue at the moment (Honestly, I wasn't trying to trick you. It does this to me sometimes. Urgg!), but right now, we're thinking pink!
