Yesterday was the long awaited appointment for our second ultrasound. I was a little nervous because just like when I go for a check up to the dentist and my teeth start to hurt a couple of days in advance, I hadn’t really felt the baby move in a day or two, so I was worried something might be off. Turns out it is just a little trickster, because the ultrasound showed us that it was doing just fine and even M. felt the baby kick through my belly for the first time afterwards. Throughout the ultrasound I couldn’t stop looking at the facial expressions of the midwife, sometimes she looked worried, but I suppose she was just concentrating on her work because she assured us that everything looked normal and all measurements came up fine. After a while it became pretty obvious what the sex of our baby is; we’re having a baby boy! Ha! I’m so happy to be in-the-know now, now I can go out shopping without having to worry I’ll buy the wrong things. And M. and I really need to work on finding a boys name we both like. We have one in mind already, but it didn’t stand out as much as the girls name we had picked out, so maybe something else will pop up that we’re both wild about.
And then there’s still the ongoing dilemma of the last name…

I will post the pictures of the ultrasound as soon as possible, I’ll have to ask M. to scan them once he finds the time.
