Still don't know if Baby-Bean is a he or a she!

The ultrasound technician was able to tell...but because I'm a few days shy of 20 weeks, she wouldn't tell me. I'm putting a call in to the midwife around 4pm (when the technician said that the report might be ready)...fingers crossed that they're able to give us the news!

In the meantime...here are some of the shots of beautiful Baby-Bean!

This first one is actually from 8 weeks...just up as a comparison (Baby-Bean literally looked like a bean at that point!).



These next shots are from this afternoon...Baby-Bean likes to stay pretty curled up (with one arm up by his/her face). This is the "alien" shot (Baby-Bean is looking at us head-on!).



And some profile shots (I know...they all look the same, but give me a break, I'm excited and proud!).







And finally...an adorable little foot...Baby-Bean is a real little kicker (though he/she is a sleepy-head during the day so not a ton of movement for us to ooh and ahh over during the ultrasound session!).



UPDATE: Midwife's office is closed on Fridays...so no news until Monday. Boo! I don't think I mentioned it above, but we got a pretty clear shot, and I'm 99% sure it's a girl...but I'm no ultrasound technician...so I can't say conclusively! Only a few more days...then I can start shopping like a mad-woman!

  1. OK, that first shot with the hand up reminds me of the old "talk to the hand" saying. Too cute!

  2. You're so right -- love it!

    Baby-Bean has got attitude already...Prof-Man and I have got our work cut our for us!

    Even better than that picture was a pose she did early on in the ultrasound (no picture though)...she raised her arms in a "skull and crossbone" with her hands balled up into fists!? Prof-Man figures she's hardcore...and is therefore more-and-more convinced that Red Dragon is an appropriate nickname (hence the continuous "Red Dragon" posts on facebook)!
