It's Official

I'm with child.
Not that it wasn't official before, it's just more official now-
now I have proof...


Check out my little it-ling slash tiny he/she.
It has cute little nubbins for arms and legs.
And I read that its eyes are no longer on the side of its head,
but in the front where they should be.
That's comforting.
It's roughly the size of a lime which is great
because I'm a big fan of limes.

The ultra sound tech thought that maybe it was a girl, but then upon further inspection we saw what could possibly be a 3rd lil' nubbin in the lower extremities. As it turns out, the baby's either a boy or girl.

P.S. Thanks for all the input on the Doctor vs Midwife thing. Really, I did appreciate it. I decided to go with a midwife who practices are similar to an ob. In the words of Hannah Montana, "...get the best of both worlds." I talked to a lot of people and I would say the majority said that they would go with a midwife. Although I was leaning towards that Dr. Thorpe guy after several commenter's suggested him. Maybe for the next one... if there ever happens to be a next one. :)

Fortunately for us, with my genes we never had that problem, but I can understand how that could be a bit discouraging. Speaking of babies and genes: within a couple more weeks the end of my gene-passing days will be over. Both Jesús (spanish pronunciation) and I are extremely nervous! (Not because we can't keep popping out kids, but because of the very scary doctor's appointment. I keep telling him that it will be okay, but he doesn't believe me).

Well your little nub looks pretty cute, I am sure whatever it is as long as it's eye's are in the front of it's head, that is what is really important here.

Anyway, I'm so excited for you. You already have 3 adorable kids,I can't wait to see the next! (Plus the beautiful pictures you'll take of her/him.

Congrats, looks like a Johnson baby to me. I'm feeling it will be another girl. Care to make a little wager....

Ginnie- that's so exciting! Congratulations :) I hope you are feeling better too. I've always wondered if those chinese calendars are any good...
