March 17, 2002 - 28 Weeks
This week began the major construction on the kitchen. This week's mommy picture isn't side on. My brother took it as we were clearing the way to move the fridge out into the living room. I think we might have taken the nesting instinct just a little too far.

The kitchen as it was before we began the upgrade project.
The first step. Everything had to come out so that we could do the floor.
At the end of the week, the floor was in. See next week for more progress.

February 6, 2002 - 22 Weeks - Ultrasound Day
Today we finally got to see the baby. During the ultrasound we had at 7 weeks, it looked like a tiny smudge in the snow on the screen. Today we got our first glimpse of arms and legs that moved around and well, it just finally looked like an actual baby. It was really cool to feel it kick and see it happening on the screen. The baby was above average in weight for 22 weeks based on all the measurements the doc took. It placed in the 85th percentile for baby's at this stage. Yikes! The measurements also predicted that the baby weighs 1 pound 3 ounces.
You are looking down on the baby from above. The head is on the right and the two arms and hands are pointing toward the left.
You are looking up at baby from underneath in this picture. The body is to the right and the legs and feet are extending to the left.
Gender
March 6, 2002 - 26 Weeks - Success!!!
We weren't expecting to find anything out today, but it was a slow day at the doctor's office and we were trapped there for an hour waiting for the sugar to kick in for the glucose tolerance test. So, the doctor suggested that we take a quick peek to see if we could find out the gender. Well, the face was pointed toward my spine so we didn't get good pictures of that, but it meant that the area of interest for finding out whether it is a boy or a girl was aimed right at us. The doc said that while he never gives a 100% certainty with an ultrasound, it's as close as it's ever gonna get. He also said he's never been wrong. It looks like all the predictions were correct!
February 6, 2002 - 22 Weeks - Ultrasound Day
We were hoping to get a definitive answer on whether we had a boy or a girl, but it was more interested in squirming away from the doctor poking it with the ultrasound wand. So, from what the doc could see, he said he was leaning towards it being a girl (since there were no signs of any boy parts in view). At this point he says he has a 65% certainty that it is a girl. He'll do another ultrasound when we're just past 7 months to see if we can find out for sure.
Pre-Ultrasound Predictions
Ancient Chinese Gender Prediction: Every pregnancy website out there has this calendar on it. It takes the lunar age of the mother at conception and the lunar month during which conception occured and uses those items to determine the gender. According to this ancient method, we're having a girl.
Scientific Statistical Prediction: This method takes into consideration the date of ovulation and the last date you did what it was that got you pregnant. The idea is that male sperm swim faster, but die off more quickly. Female sperm take their time getting there, but live longer. The closer the date of ovulation you snuggled a little too close, the better the chances of a boy. Based on this method, the chances are better that we're having a girl.
Dream Prediction: This is the old tried and true, what does the mother dream about method. I've only had one dream in which I could actually tell the sex of the baby, and in that one it was a girl, but the previous two predictions might have had something to do with that!
