It's a...

Boy

Here's his cute little foot.

Our little boy's scrawny little legs. (I asked about the club-looking foot. It's not really a club foot, it's perfectly normal.)

Here is our little boy's profile. You can see the facial bones and his cute little brain.

His cute little spine and head.

I know he kind of looks like a little alien, but it's awesome that we kind of can tell what he looks like! I think he has a flat little Christensen face.

Here is his cute little nose and luscious lips. I think he got those from me. :)

The view from the top of his head looking down on his little brain. The doctor said it would keep growing...so no worries there.


Well, it's official! We're having a boy! Even though Ben didn't say too much about his preference, he came all out with it once he got the deepest wish of his little heart. He's thrilled to be having a boy, and so am I. I can already tell he's going to be a little menace, though, from the way he was putting up a fight during the ultrasound pictures. I guess that just means he takes after his daddy already. :)

19 Weeks and Counting...

Well, here I am at 19 weeks pregnant with Little Limey. I'm at that awkward stage where people aren't sure if I'm pregnant or just getting thick around the waist. I'm sure those of you that have had the pleasure of experiencing this stage know exactly what I'm talking about.

Update

We're the worst bloggers ever. Gosh, ever since I started my new block of student teaching, I've had pretty much zero time. I'm there before school, and at least one and a half hours after school every day...not even doing stuff to prepare my OWN lessons! I know it doesn't sound that rough, but it's frustrating when the other teachers treat you like crap, you're not allowed to use anything at school, and then you finally get home after stupid professional development, and you still have your own lessons to plan and submit to your teacher before she trusts you to educate the young, distracted minds of first graders! I loved fourth grade so much more. Although I guess I might miss snapping first graders' pants for them and tying their shoes...lol...Only 4 1/2 more weeks until I'm done being a lowly student teacher!

In other news, Ben has been accepted to Eastern Virginia Medical School. We're not sure if we'll be going there for sure, but it's nice to know he's been accepted somewhere. So we'll see how everything else goes.

We get to find out whether Lima is a boy or a girl in 6 days! (translation: Lima= our baby. We call it that because on the first ultrasound it looked like a little Lima bean. The nickname has really caught on! Our unborn child is affectionately known by family and friends as simply Lima.) I just hope that Lima doesn't decide to be overly modest during the ultrasound. This is the one time in Lima's life that we'll allow him or her to be immodest...just so we know if it's a male or female bean.
