It's (probably) a....

...girl! We had our 12 week ultrasound (complete with NT testing and all that fun stuff) today and what a lovely active baby! Stretching its legs out like its trying to work out the kinks...very cute. The ultrasound tech asked if we wanted to know what she thought it was (gender wise). Sure! A girl. Really? Yup. Apparently, at this stage they can see the orientation of the genitalia. Up usually means boy (why am I not surprised?) and down usually means girl. And our little belly bean's bits are pointed down. So - how often is she right? 80%!!! Oh my!

We'll have plenty of other ultrasounds to make sure everything is fine and the one at 18 weeks ought to be a bit clearer. But it looks like JJ might just have a little sister on his hands.

Second Trimester - and still sick

OK, so totally not fair. Here we are starting the second trimester and I've actually thrown up the last two days!! I made it 12 weeks without *actually* hurling and now twice in as many days. YUCK! I hate throwing up. And on Monday it was at WORK of all places. How embarrassing.

And for the record - Pad Thai is NOT an optimal thing to have to regurgitate. I'm just sayin...

Felt a kick?

Maybe. It seems early and just under 12 weeks, but it could be! One solid "kathunk!" in the side. The little belly bean is jumpin!
