About the belly...

On Monday P, R, and K all squeezed into the tiny ultrasound room for the12 week ultrasound.  R was so thrilled to see "a movie of our baby."  It was so priceless seeing his 3.5 year old little self just beaming proud to be a big brother.  He giggled as baby hopped around on the screen, making it extremely difficult for the ultrasound tech to get measurements.  R says that the baby is going to be rowdy just like "all the boys in the family are." 

At 12 weeks the baby's heart rate was 175.  At 12 weeks R's heart rate was 155, and K's was 158.  So if this drastic difference in heart rate is an indicator of gender...I'd say this little lemon is a girl.  However, P says that we are going to have a house full of boys.  So for the next 8 weeks we will wait, and wonder.

Today, we all went to K's one year well child appointment.  R for some reason felt the need to first tell the nurse that "my mommy has a baby in her belly, but we don't know if it is a boy or a girl just yet."  Then as soon as the doctor entered the room, he told the doctor this as well.  Guess he is an excited big brother!
