Baby X

Overall very, very good news from the 16 week appointment this morning. Baby looks healthy and strong, good heartbeat, four chambers, nice long limbs, good sized brain. Unfortunately it was feeling modest -- all crunched up in a tight fetal position, so we couldn't learn the gender. So, baby will remain "it" for at least another week (they've generously promised to sneak me in for another "unofficial" sono a week from tomorrow to take another look... and told me to drink a cup of coffee in the morning to see if we can make it dance). I'm disappointed about the gender, but let's face it -- healthy is the bottom line, and I am delighted and thankful for that!!!!
