20w 6d Ultrasound Results!

Bebe numbero dos' ultrasound was yesterday. He was as uncooperative and evasive as his sister - he even kicked the ultrasound probe a few times. The poor sonographer had to chase him around to get a look at all his parts. Mark says its because he's got the Rossi leg shaking disorder...

He was however much less shy than his sister in giving up the goods. As you can tell from the masculine pronoun we found out that a baby boy will be joining us in the wider world this Fall. Ana, who has recently become very interested in and excited about becoming a big sister, is also excited at the prospect of a little brother. 

For the record, my maternal instinct was correct again, there is facebook proof that I predicted a boy the day before the ultrasound. It took a while longer to confirm my hunch that Ana was a girl as she was 'shy' and wouldn't give up the goods in her ultrasound and we had to wait until she was born.



Here are a few ultrasound pictures for your viewing pleasure:

19w1d

Not much new to report. Most days I feel pretty good although I've had more headaches this time around which I think is, in part, due to the weirdo (dramatic) changes in weather we've had so far this spring which I'm susceptible to even in a non-pregnant state (don't get me started on what happened when i lived in Calgary and there was a chinook).

We've got a checkup with the midwife on Tuesday and are really excited about the ultrasound on the 20th.

Here, for your viewing pleasure, is bebe número dos' very first belly picture! I am much bigger compared to same time last time around which is normal (but still a bit disconcerting!).
