Week 22. It's a boy!




Baby's development: This week we found out that the baby is a boy! The ultrasound technician said that the baby has legs like his dad -- long! The baby is about 7 1/2 inches and weighs a little under a pound, which is slightly bigger than the average baby during this time. The baby's testes have already begun to descend and primitive sperm are forming. As Liza suggests that I should be saying, "I'm growing a small penis!"

We are very excited to be having a baby boy and are now looking for a name. This has been the most difficult part! As you can see from his ultrasound, so far he's got a button nose and big cheeks. We got to see him swallowing and touching his ear with his hand. They also made sure that he had all ten fingers and toes. We got to watch him for a while. It was pretty great to see him moving around in there!

Liza and Tracie were in town for the weekend and helped me buy some maternity pants. Who knew how comfortable maternity pants could be? Also, why didn't I get some leggings sooner? It's great to feel cute and comfortable in clothes again.
