We were at the doctor's today. My wife is in her 21st week and it was time for a ultrasound checkup. We asked the gynecologist to keep the answer to the big question to herself, as we chose not to spoil the fun with the search for male and female names, so she didn't show us - but my wife thinks it's a girl. What you can see on the picture is the head, torso, right leg and a part of the umbilical cord. The doctor wanted to take the picture when it's looking into our direction, but the kid ignored us. We could watch the picture being projected on the ceiling, but it was difficult to tell how big it is. The doctor measured the body, it's 21 cm now (that's 8.26 inch for the people not blessed with the metric system) and kicking and moving like there's a party going on and everybody's invited. My wife doesn't feel anything yet, but that'll change soon. I can't wait for 9th October, but I hope the baby takes all time it needs in there.
