Got to see the new child I'm cooking for the first time today. With Jake I seemed to get an ultrasound every time I went to the doc, but I suspect that's the difference between seeing an OB and seeing Midwives. Totally worth it, btw. I can wait to see if it means a better labor and delivery experience.

Baby's fine and there are no markers for anything bad. I'm doing the non-invasive blood test for Downs, trisomy 18 and neural tube defects just because but so far everything looks good.

I'm only 12 weeks so they couldn't say with any degree of certainty whether it was a boy or girl but both the ultrasound tech and the doc guessed boy (with lots of caveats that they could be wrong and assurances from me that I wouldn't run out and paint everything blue yet. Not that I'm panting anything blue, but anyway.)

I go back August 30th and I'll find out for sure then. I still think it's a girl, but I'm not going to sell all my boy stuff or anything.
