Oh boy - it's a girl!!!

We just had our 18 week ultrasound. At first glance, everything seems fine, but we won't get the final results from the radiologist for a few days. BUT, we did find out the it's a girl!!! (though, come on, we're not really that surprised ;) ).

Here's a profile shot from the ultrasound and you can see the hands. A second after this was taken she waved at us.

I can safely say that watching her swim around was one of the most awe-inspiring moments of my life. We could see her bones, heart, kidneys, brain, feet, hands, and face. Her head is 15 cm around.

Over the last couple weeks Erika has been able to feel her moving, mostly in the morning. She's developed enough now to be able to hear what's going on outside the womb.

Baby at 8 Weeks

This was the post I promised months ago. Baby's first ultrasound.

16 weeks and counting

We had another doctor's apt yesterday. Everything seems fine. I got to hear the babies heart beat for the first time. That was pretty amazing. Erika is feeling much better and getting some of her energy back. She's still taking it pretty easy, but has started swimming again.

A few more weeks and we'll go in for another ultrasound. Yes, we are going to find out the gender.
