boy?

so we went back to the doc yesterday for my recent check up and lo and behold it seems our little 'smidge' has a penis! The first check was early at 17 w 6d. And the legs were closed and tightly tucked so the lack of seeing something usually causes an assumption of it being a girl. this time there was what looked like a scrotum and penis. So our doc was so flustered after last time giving us a 85% girl that he was hesitant to confirm a 100% Boy. So he decided to just look again in 4 weeks. I guess as the baby gets bigger it ets easier to tell for sure. but really we won't know for sure until 'smidge ' comes out.

Either was 'smidge' is healthy and even showed us a nice big yawn on screen! Plus he is seriously Kung Fu fighting in there.

'smidge' is now 20 weeks and 5 days. tonite he attended his first Harry Potter film (Half Blood Prince) and his first film in utero. he was a bit active during the previews but settled in during the film. J got to feel him for the first time this morning when i got a series of swift kicks, bold enough for him to feel. he's actually very active now and enough for me to notice daily.

The other milestone was his punch/kick/block i got during the fireworks the Gregory's set off in the backyard on July 4th in Marshfield.
