12 1/2 Week Ultrasound
Well folks, it looks like we may be wrong. At this ultrasound the tiny little baby sure looked boyish to me (and the tech.) The heartrate was 162 bpm again, which is fast like girls tend to be, but the baby was really active. It is still too early to say for sure, so I'm not counting on it until we can confirm it next month. Those who voted girl were most likely persuaded somewhat by my intuition. I guess I'm not as reliable as I used to be. I think Jeff and Carrie's baby jinxed my baby gender prediction talent (I thought they were going to have a boy). For those of you who don't know, there was a time when I predicted the gender of unborn babies with 100% accuracy. Anyway... we are really excited either way! Tyler says about 10 times a day, "I want to go to the beach with the baby." (We told them we weren't going on vacation until after the baby comes.) I'll update when I learn anything new!Margo's Bridal Show
For those who don't know, Derek's mom owns a bridal store, so the kids model for the annual "Bridal Extravaganza." (Derek had to fill in for a no-show, but he and I have put in our time modeling too.)
10 Week Ultrasound

This is the baby at 10 weeks. It is almost 4cm from head to rump. Just in case you can't tell- the black circle in the middle of the picture is the amniotic sac with the baby inside. This is a full body profile, with head to the left. One hand is up next to the face and the legs are curled up. It was moving around quite a bit and you could see the heart beating away at 162 beats/min. (I'm convinced it's a girl.) The white on the face is the facial bones beginning to develop already. I could also see the spinal column forming, but it's not in this picture. I'll have another ultrasound at 20 weeks where we should find out the sex.
The third time around is just as amazing and incredible as the first.
