Prince Charming

I forgot to mention the other details from the ultrasound the other day: He's weighing in at a whopping 10 ounces, which puts him in the 22nd percentile. We also got to see him yawn a great big yawn, and he spent most of the time with his fist in his mouth. He was so wiggly the tech left for a bit because he was just not cooperating and holding still long enough for her to make the measurements she needed to. And, the best news of the day was that his heart looked just fine. We had a little scare at the earlier ultrasound when they found a marker for a heart defect, but it's gone now! We'll go back in about another month for the next look at our BOY!!!

The other 20 percent

So way back during our first ultrasound, the baby was lying funny, but the tech was pretty certain this was yet another little girl - 80 percent, she told us. Well, turns out she was 100 percent wrong! We had another ultrasound today, and, no doubt about it this time, this is a BOY! We are shocked and excited, again. (This child sure does have it out for us.) We were afraid of telling Claire, who had proclaimed this baby a girl with the name of Cinderella a long, long time ago, but she took the news surprisingly well. She decided that Cinderella would be a silly name for a boy, so she's now on the lookout for a new name. As are we - looks like there will be no Beatrice or Camille joining us just before Christmas.

Wow, a BOY! Time to shop!!!!
