My baby bump: Show me the GOODS!

For weeks, okay maybe since I conceived, I have been dying to know the sex of my baby! We had come in for our routine prenatal appointment last week, hoping to schedule an ultrasound ASAP! We couldn't get on the schedule until 3 weeks out! Wraa!

SoOoO, luckily for us, Jason and I have a friend who is an ultrasound technician. She was more than willing to take us in during her lunch break yesterday! Of course in exchange for some pancit and lumpia! haha.

After being in the hot seat with jelly all over my belly for more than an hour, we left there with the baby's gender still unanswered! wraa!!!!! The baby was too fidgety and active. We couldn't get a good view between the legs. This baby was tossing, turning, doing flips..sticking its head between its legs! (The baby got a clear view, but we didn't!) At one time, it even peed for us on screen! LOL (must get that from Jason)

So, the bad news is that the baby wouldn't cooperate. But the good news is that Baby looks healthy! The last time we had an ultrasound it just looked like a jelly bean. This time, everything was so pronounced! We saw the spine, cerebrum, bladder, stomach, heart chamber, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, its cute little toes and fingers...and of course we stared at its butt crack for almost 45 minutes trying to distinguish what it was!

The sweetest part is that it has already picked up Jason's traits and features! If you look at the picture of the baby's feet, they are undeniably Jason's. My second toe is longer than my big toe..but the baby's second toe is shorter. haha. ALSO, my favorite part is that in one of the pictures, the baby is clasping its hands together. JASON DOES THIS ALL THE TIME!!! haha, he watches T.V. with his hands nicely clasped and sleeps in the prayer position! How freakin ADORABLE is that!

I do have my own guess to what the baby is...A GIRL! I know what we saw was a blur but for a minute there, the baby's parts were looking like a hamburger to me! (You know, hamburger for a girl and turtle for a boy!) And the night before, tell me why I had a dream that I was singing to my baby girl?

I guess we'll have to see in a few weeks! Stay tuned! In the mean time, enjoy these pics below.

It doesn't show it here but the baby was sucking its thumb prior to the still shot.

The baby must have been wondering what all the fuss was about..because it kept turning its head and looking directly at the transducer!

If you look very closely, you can see the baby has its thumb and pointer finger open...I think it was calling us LOSERS while we were looking for its goods!
