Yesterday was your ultrasound.  Daddy and I managed to contain our curiosity, and we didn't find out if you're a boy or girl.  We would both just really like for it to be a surprise -- and based ont he way your legs were crossed, you agree.

Of course, later in the procedure the tech was showing us your legs, and I didn't see anything to make me think you're a boy, so I'm leaning towards girl.

We did get to see your heart and stomach and kidneys and brain and spine and 10 fingers -- you were alternately waving and shaking your fist at us...I hope that's not a sign of things to come!

The tech also moved up your due date based on your size (7 oz.)  Now you're due on March 17 -- St. Patrick's Day.  Daddy is thrilled.  I just hope you don't take your Irish heritage too seriously.

The whole experience was wonderful.  We were so excited to see you and see that you are growing and developing so well.  Only five more months until we get to meet you!
