We don’t really know that much more about baby’s gender than we did at this time yesterday…the ultrasound technician seemed to think that the baby *might* be a girl, since she didn’t see a little penis, and did get a view of the genital area…maybe the baby was feeling bashful and was hiding it!?!
I am going to *hope* we get a girl, knowing though that it could very easily turn out to be a boy. However, as cliche as it sounds, as long as it is healthy, who cares!
Baby girls dressed in flowered pink pinafore’s with matching sun hats are awfully cute though, aren’t they?!?
Today we hope to find out the gender of our baby. I am so excited, I can hardly wait! Stuart thinks’s its like sneaking a peek at a Chirstmas present. I call it wanting to be prepared! Besides, with Liam we waited to find out, and I figure it is a surprise whether we know now or later.
The ultrasound is this afternoon, and I know time will crawl until then…I’m just so eager to know what we’re having. I hope baby co-operates!
So far, My Mom has a “strong feeling” it’s a girl, Stuart’s Mom thinks it’s a boy, Stuart says girl as well, and now I am totally confused because I felt Liam was a girl, and was way off…I figure our odds are about 50-50, so someone’s gotta be right 
Stay tuned…
Today, we got our first glimpse of our baby to be! It was a short ultrasound which only lasted about 10 minutes, as it was just to “date” the pregnancy (I found out I am 14 weeks, 3 days) right around what we thought actually…
It brought back all of the memories and emotions from when I saw Liam for the first time via ultrasound, and despite the obvious signs and symptoms of the pregnancy such as fatigue, nausea and the “bump”, it made our baby feel that much more real.
It is such an astounding thing really. I don’t know anything about this little person sharing my body, yet I feel such a connection to him or her, and a sense of protectiveness and love. It excites and amazes me that in the near future, this same little being will be calling me “Mama.”
~How wonderful!
