Exciting!
Our little un-born junior is of the male description. A little boy! So yes, we can't wait to meet Henry sometime in late September, early October.
I attended an ultrasound yesterday with Jerad and my Mum - 'twas lovely. Henry was just relaxing in there, sucking on his fingers, crossing his ankles, rolling around. He even did a funny little Marcel Marceau with his hands against the uterus wall at one point. I love him. The visit was almost two hours long, with the sonographer measuring all his internal organs, checking that everything is as they should be, which I can happily say, they are.
His little heart is beating, beating and it looks like the machanism in a watch - a hummingbirds heart. Jerad said "If all goes to plan, that little heart will be beating like that for the next seventy or eighty years..." an amazing thought. Once set into motion, life is a perpectual motion machine of sorts.
He has a lovely profile, with a pretty nose and lovely hands and feet. By the grace of god, his feet have arches, which Jerad's don't ;) I have never seen such flat feet as Jerad's - long, thin and flat, just like a rabbit, perfect for running. But Henry seems to have little arches, which is preobably a good thing! I hope Henry is as nice looking as his Dad is though, and if we're lucky, he'll inherit that illuminating smile.
I wish we could have has pictures from the ultrasound, but it wasn't possible. My new due date is September 30. Today, Henry is 15cm long. He's not destined to be a tall man, but certainly a loved one.
