We heard its heart beat

We went for an ultrasound nearly two weeks ago. Blob had done quite a bit of growing. Blob weighed 3 ounces. You could clearly see its head and body (or tail as I referred to it and got in trouble). We were able to hear its heartbeat (158). The technician said that the heart rate is not an indication of the sex of the baby. The old line of thought is that if the heart rate is over 140 then it will be a boy.

Bethany and I are in the early stages of planning a trip to Mexico. She said that she wants to Mexico before the baby comes and with her possible travel restrictions (I think that she can't fly a month before the baby is due) we are looking at going in early February.

I will try to get my scanner hooked up so that I can get a picture of the baby on the blog.

Correction: the saying is if it over 140 hbm,it's a girl; under 140 it's a boy and it's a baby not a blob
