The Results Are In...It's a ....

Boy!! You're all wrong! (except the 5 of you who voted for a boy). The radiologist didn't seem to have much doubt. We are very excited about the little guy, and happy to know it's a boy so we can start planning! Everything else on the ultrasound looked good too - she showed us the spine, the heart, the kidneys, the stomach, the femur, the two halves of the brain, and a bunch of other stuff I probably didn't catch :) Everything looked normal - and actually a little bigger than normal. Based on how big the baby is, my due date would be a little more than 2 weeks earlier than my current due date. We'll see what the doctor says at my next appointment, and if he moves the due date. If not, I just have a big baby, which wouldn't be totally surprising considering my family's history! Any name suggestions? We have some we like, but none really jumping out at us yet.

And for anyone who wants one, here's a little update on my belly. This was just over a week ago. FYI, I don't wear the same clothes all the time - I just try and wear the same ones for the pictures so it's easier to see the changes.
