16 Weeks Pregnant: It's a Boy!


Left image show spine; right image is a crotch shot although Dr. Lee did not show us what he saw to indicated boy.


Left image is Baby Boy's face with hand near top; right image is an arm.

Craig, Sarah, & I went to the doctor today and I asked Dr. Lee if he could tell if Baby is a boy or a girl. Dr. Lee seemed to have trouble getting a good look in that area after he did some other body-part checks. He turned off the machine, started walking away and said, "95% sure it's a boy." And then he asked me if I was happy. I honestly was so surprised that he didn't point anything out to us that I only said 95% makes me doubt! He then said, "you can never be 100% sure until delivery." Craig thinks Dr. Lee looked stressed out this morning and I'll admit that he wasn't quite as detailed when he did the ultrasound. At any rate we are excited for a boy (although I am also a little scared!) and I will be sure to ask again at our next visit.

I also wanted to note that Baby Boy was scratching his head with both hands during the ultrasound which was pretty cute! I have started feeling some very tiny movement which I really feel like is less than I did with the girls. Definitely nothing consistent yet.

The back pain that I had last week is gone (although I'm still taking it easy because my back still feels "tired" when I do too much). I have a bit of nausea that seems to be triggered by sweets. I need to cut those out anyway so this is motivation!

Babycenter says that Baby Boy is 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and weighs 3 1/2 ounces.

(We had 12 votes for Boy and 6 votes for Girl in our gender poll. Next we'll have to guess if Baby Boy will have red or blonde hair...)
