Ultrasound Day!

Today was the day... I actually have little information to share with you. We got some cute profile pictures of the baby, and the ultrasound technician let us guess at the gender. It looked very much like a boy! She wouldn't give her opinion until we gave ours, and then she very much agreed. So maybe the last ultrasound was too early to check gender or the nurse didn't really know what was going on...but it is indeed a BOY!
Besides that I have to wait to find out about the health of the baby. Some radiologist has to talk to my doctor and then my doctor will tell me how my baby is doing. I don't know why, but this time around I'm much more nervous about the baby's health. Maybe just because I was sick a while back and was more exhausted than I've ever felt before in my life. Britton was watching her take all the pictures of the body parts and he said everything looked good.
So we're excited for a boy! We have all the stuff! We just need a name now. We've all had girl baby on the brain and haven't given much thought to boy names yet. So if you have any suggestions, let me know!
Here's a picture of me and the belly so you know what he looks like from the outside these days.

He's Back!

We missed him so much! Will gave him a big running hug at the airport. I gave him a quick hug and then ran off to the bathroom. I missed the little things. Someone to listen to every detail of my day, someone else to change diapers, and someone to watch Will so I don't have to take him into gross public bathrooms.
After picking him up in San Francisco we spent the weekend in Palo Alto with our friends the Conti-Browns. While we were in town I finally had a doctor's appointment! The nurse did a quick ultrasound and said as far as she could tell...it looked like a GIRL!! That's what we've been hoping for. We'll have the real ultrasound in about a month and find out a more definite due date and more evidence that there is a tiny baby girl growing in my belly.
On the way back to Brentwood we stopped by a wedding reception for one of Britton's lab cronies and some fantastic Swedish meatballs. We caught up with Britton's old friends and Will danced in the gazebo. See picture below.

Now we are together until another conference will tear us apart. Britton is leaving us for Chattanooga, TN in a week. Boo.
