Just got through two more appointments with the doctor, including the NT scan (the scan for disorders such as Down Syndrome.) Everything looks great so far! Also, we got a real good look at the baby...and lo and behold...there was something peeking out between the legs. The doctor is almost positive that we are having a little boy! When looking at the picture below, the two white lines are the femurs (back of the thighs), and right between them you will see a little "hot dog" as the doctor called it. Given, he is hung like a bumblebee right now, you may need to look close. It's there, promise! :-) We are so excited.
Sometime soon, Jake will need to go in and have some blood tests done because of his Jewish heritage. Apparently the Ashkanazi Jews carried quite a few genetic problems, not that Jake hasn't already had his fair share of problems. We just want to make sure that nothing bad is passed on to the little man. We are also going to schedule an echo-cardiogram for the baby since Jake was also blessed with a congenital heart defect that was surgically fixed about 6 years ago. We aren't too concerned because so far the baby has had a very strong heartbeat. Keep your fingers crossed.

Here are a few more pictures of our little guy and an updated belly shot of mama! Enjoy, I know we are!
