Wow - all of a sudden this pregnancy decided to speed up. Just a few more weeks and this baby will be half-baked!
Last weekend we had an elective u/s done and it was confirmed that we are having a boy! Well, the tech was 99% sure this time, lol. The baby is a stubborn one, though. It took 30 minutes of poking and prodding my belly, drinking cold water and doing some jumping jacks to get the little guy to show us the goods. He was sitting cross-legged (so cute) and had his hand over his genitals. Maybe he's just shy? ;) Anyway, it was really cool to see my baby for a whole half hour and we even got to see him for a bit in 3d.

Eeeee! I love your baby bump!! I can't believe how fast the weeks are flying by either.
