Baby Development

Your baby is now about 5.6 to 6.4 inches and weighs approximately 9 ounces. Your baby is now big enough that you may be able to tell when he or she is awake or asleep based on the level of activity. You can also see a lot of movement in the ultrasound image. Looking at ultrasound images of other babies can help you figure out what you're looking at when you see your baby's image.


Woohoo!! It is pretty crazy that we're already halfway. Although I guess we didn't really know we were pregnant until about 6 weeks in. But it's still cool to think about being at the half way point. It's kinda scary, though. It's going sooo fast!

I broke down this week and switched over to almost all maternity clothes. I still have a few "regular" pieces that fit, but they are mostly "grungy clothes" like event t-shirts and exercise shorts. My yoga pants still fit, but it's too hot for those now...But they are the most comfy pants I've ever owned, so I hope I can fit in them when the weather cools down.

Tomorrow we have the ultrasound! I'm so excited. We are going to wait till the birth to find out the baby's gender...Unless the child doesn't give us a choice. I'll be happy with either a boy or a girl, and I don't mind having a neutral baby wardrobe and nursery. Besides, after it is born we will have it's whole life to dress it in boy clothes are girl clothes. It's kinda strange, I guess, because I usually like to be prepared and be able to plan ahead for things. So choosing to not be able to plan is not normal for me. But I think that if we find out tomorrow at the ultrasound that the baby is healthy and that it is a ___ (fill in blank with appropriate gender) I will just get impatient for the next four months. I do like a little surprise in life!!! And this is a simple and fun surprise!

Now, I know, everyone says, "It's a surprise whether you find out now or when the baby's born." True, but it doesn't work that way for me. I just don't want to know, and even though that's weird now - it seems everyone finds out at the ultrasound - that's how I am. Thankfully Brad isn't too adamant one way or the other. He would be happy to find out tomorrow (he's in the "it's a surprise either way" crowd) but he's willing to wait with me. Isn't he the best! :)
