Gender news...

Hello to all -

A and J are absolutely over the half way point, and have about 19 weeks to go out of 40. Today M and I went to the DR with them to see our first grandchild on ultrasound...

A and J were quite anxious to know gender before Christmas too! (And now that they do we have been able to finish the registry at Babies R Us - such fun that was!)

Sonogram was at 9:30 followed by the DR at 10 - baby was shy and not willing to reveal gender to us no matter how many times we looked and looked. The Tech had an inkling but was unsure.

M and I went back to the waiting room while they saw the DR - who couldn't tell either. But this is the very kind DR that waited while we called J and sister E last month on the phone so they could hear the heartbeat over the phone. She sent A and J back to the waiting room to try again with the sonogram when the tech had another minute or so...

We waited and A drank OJ to try to wake and motivate the child to move around a bit. We all went back in at 11 and were able to quite clearly see that this baby is female! We saw the lenses of her eyes and the feet and ribs and kidneys and heart and stomach...

Everything was measured and she is about 10 inches long and almost one pound (15 oz.). She looks as perfect as she could look at this point and we are all quite excited. The due date was moved from April 6 to April 3....A is just praying it won't be on the first. I remember how thankful I was that E missed halloween also!!!

Mine were both early so I'm thinking it will be very late in March but we'll see...

That's our exciting news. E has decided that A will have girls and she will have the boys...not sure about that at all!

Have a wonderful day giving thanks - we all have so much to be thankful for! God Bless You!

2 days to the half way point!!!

Do you think I'm getting excited??? oh yes and just wait til next week when we see the baby and hopefully gender on the ultrasound! And I get to go along!

Baby Development

Your baby is now about 5.6 to 6.4 inches and weighs approximately 9 ounces. Your baby is now big enough that you may be able to tell when he or she is awake or asleep based on the level of activity. You can also see a lot of movement in the ultrasound image.

This is day number 138 and you're 20 weeks pregnant!
You have 142 days or 20 weeks left, and are 50.0% of the way there.
Baby's age since conception is 124 days or 18 weeks. You are due on 4/6/2007. For those of you who love math like me these stats are so exciting. On Friday she will be exactly half way along!!!

Oh boy! (or girl :))

Week 19...

Welcome, Grandma

19/40 weeks
This is day number 131 and your A and J are 19 weeks pregnant!
You have 149 days or 21 weeks left, and are 47.5% of the way there.
Baby's age since conception is 117 days or 17 weeks. You are due on 4/6/2007.

Baby Development

Your baby weighs approximately 7 ounces and is about 5.2 to 6 inches from crown to rump. The exterior layers of skin tissue are developing to form your baby's one-of-a-kind fingerprints. The amniotic fluid that surrounds your baby allows for the free movement of the arms and legs and is also sometimes swallowed to practice digestion.

NEWS TO THE WORLD:
We went to Babies R Us and they registered for some of their needs this week. They will add more later - 2 weeks from today we hope to know the gender! Excitement is mounting...:)
