One more week!

These last three weeks have been the longest three weeks ever! We can't wait until our appt, a week from today, to find out whether it is a girl or boy!!!

Here is where we are at now:

How your baby's growing: Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin and her ears are now in position and stand out from her head. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If your baby is a boy, his genitals are noticeable, though he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

I can't wait either! You need to do some of those old wives tales -- like the ring on a string thing -- and see what the result is! :)

Just looked at your registry. Baby Boy Balster is on the way, I assume?!?! :)
