Stop by and vote for a baby name.  We might not choose any of these, but we are thinking about them now (and we have about 16 to 18 weeks to change our minds. Rosaleen chooses Rory Bob.

So, the Grandma's have the "results." Ben and I think we are having a boy, but we don't know for sure. Wowzers.

Today I am 20 weeks pregnant, so about 20 weeks to go.   Half way there.   Last week, at 19 weeks 3 days, we had our “big” ultrasound.   We did not find out the sex of the baby, but we were very happy to find out that everything looks “normal”.   Per our request, the ultrasound technician did write down the sex of the baby, but we haven’t looked.   We decided to be surprised!!!!   However, we plan to mail the paper to our moms (she wrote it down twice).   The technician did say the baby measured/weighed 11 ounces.   I don’t think the ultrasounds are very accurate in evaluating weight of the fetus, but 11 ounces is definitely ahead of the curve—although still normal.   Most books and websites say that a 20 week fetus is about eight or nine ounces.   I have included a few pictures from the ultrasound.   It was a lot of fun to watch the baby on the monitor.   The ultrasound lasted about 40 minutes.   The baby was moving ...
