Kristin, what a manly little baby boy you have! Gonads!!! Have you already spoken to your husband? He must be over the moon. Was it a normal u/s machine? And was it an over-the-belly u/s or transvag?

I was shocked that we were able to get a clear u/s image through my belly on Friday (especially since my stomach feels so distended and bloaty), but I also asked for a transvag. u/s. That picture was even clearer. I'm happy to be wanded if it means seeing more of le bebe.

Meanwhile, although I haven't gained any weight on the scale in the last two and a half weeks, I feel like I totally look pregnant because everything has moved to my front. (My mom just got back from a two week vacation and definitely sees a difference.) I can't wait for my NT scan results; if all goes well, we'll go public -- and let people know I'm not just randomly porking up.

How is everyone else doing with the weight gain thus far? I'm up about 5 pounds from the day of my ER. (As of today, I'm 11 weeks.)

I think it's more common to misinterpret a girl that later becomes a boy, versus vice versa. I could even see the two tiny circles (gonads) and a bright white line in between - it was kind of funny/cute, actually! Who knows? You might be able see the gender on Wednesday, too!
