Our little lovey!

I had an ultrasound today and David and I saw our little love.  Everything looked perfect!  He/she had the hiccups and was bouncing all over the screen.  It had a strong heartbeat -- 162.  I practically begged the tech and doctor to look at the gender, but they refused!  I told them I knew at this stage with the girls and they said too bad, they don't like to "guess", they like to wait to 20 weeks and be "correct".  I suppose I understand their logic but I'm still disappointed.  I did discover the Intelligender.  Its an over the counter gender predictor.  Its only 82% accurate, but thats good enough for me!!  For now anyway.  I won't go paint the nursery blue or anything like that but it would still be fun to have an idea.  I say blue because I'm 100,000,00% positive its a boy.  Of course I said I was that sure one of the girls was a boy, too and obviously I was proven wrong then so I expect nothing less than to be incorrect, but I still have that gut feeling.  You take the test with your first morning's urine, so I'll let you know how things turn out tomorrow.  :o)

Now, a pic of the little Turner!
Isn't He/she a beauty!!  Hopefully you can figure out whats what -- basically you can really only make out the head, which is a profile on the left side of the black sack.  The body is the little blur below the head and the feet are below that which you can't see.  We saw his/her little hand waving around too, but it wasn't captured on the picture.  I also have a DVD of the whole scan.  I'll try to figure out how to load that.

And my friend Sue does a little weekly status of her feelings during her pregnancy, I think I'm going to start that because I have loved reading how she is doing each week, it really gives me something to look forward to and I'm going to assume you would enjoy it just as much!

That's the most beautiful little unborn baby I've ever seen (well top 4 anyway!) I'm crying, of course. What a miracle! We have the most amazing Creator, don't we?!
