A little strange to me as I was expecting it to be a girl. Boys just seem like an alien life form and I think I felt more comfortable with the idea it was a girl, but I'm still thrilled.
And all else is well: brain, heart and kidneys are the right size and shape and in the right place.
We also got to see the cutest images of his face in 3D, although the stills are nowhere near as impressive as the moving images were:
It's just so amazingly beautiful... I can hardly believe it's really growing inside of me :)
I am now almost 23 weeks pregnant and baby is estimated to weigh about 600 g / 1.3 lbs.
As for, me, I've gained 4.3 kg / 9.4 lbs since we conceived, which is still the bottom of the pregnancy weight chart, but the challenge will be to keep the numbers down for the next 4 months.
This is the chart I've been using as a reference:
24 lbs (their "low" weight gain at full-term) seems like a lot of weight to put on, so I hope I can stay under that.
All else is going really well with the pregnancy, still no complaints really which is so lucky when I see how difficult some of my friends' pregnancies are or were.
I changed jobs a couple of weeks ago, which wasn't foreseen as the contract at the previous place was supposed to go on till the end of June, but they had to put an end to it due to their client cutting budgets in half.
Luckily I found another position the very same day, this time closer to home, with public transport access and I also negotiated a better day rate. On the down side it is much more demanding and the hours tend to be longer, so I haven't been getting much rest these past two weeks and desperately need some down time to relax.
Hopefully once I get into the project it'll be easier to plan in some time off (I'm supposed to be working 4 days out of 5 but so far have only managed to take a couple of hours off!).
That's all the news for now - I'm off to continue looking for the perfect name now we know it's a boy :)
