So here it is, a picture from our baby’s first photo session. If you have trouble getting oriented, our 7.88-inch goober is facing leftward. You can see the spine pretty clearly, and the profile. (Speaking of getting oriented, there was a fair amount of tummy slapping during the ultrasound to get the baby’s head turned.)
So — does our baby look more like me or Amy? You decide. You can also try to guess the gender based on facial characteristics. Put in your vote in the comments, and we’ll tell you if you’re right — maybe later today.
A couple more details: We had the ultrasound around 8:30 this morning. According to the measurements, the baby is 19 weeks, 2 days old.
I just talked to Amy on the phone; she’s on lunch break after teaching 1st and 2nd grade. She had each class vote about what they thought the gender was, then told each class “the answer” at the end of the period. After she told one of the classes, a student said, “Don’t worry, you can have another one!” 🙂
He/She is SO cute. I have no idea and I’m dying to know but I’ll guess a boy. At least I wasn’t too chicken to guess:-)
I’m guessing a boy as well because of the cheeks. 😉 I can’t wait to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but that being said, I’m hoping for a girl!!!
He or she is adorable already!! Aren’t ultrasounds amazing?! I’m going to guess boy because…well, little boys are wonderful!! (Of course, so are little girls, so I know you’re thrilled either way!) But please don’t make us wait too long! 🙂
Going with boy! But, I already told you that!
