Gender Update -- We Have a Shy Baby on our Hands


The most recent person to vote in the gender poll was my friend Larry who I met at the Toronto Film Festival, and he posted "now hurry up and tell us!" after voting.

That's exactly what I said to my baby on Monday ... twice!!!

It seems we have a very shy baby on our hands who does not want us all to know yet.

On Monday I actually had 2 ultrasounds (keep reading the new posting below for other important pregnancy updates) ... one around 8:30 in the morning and the other around 4:30 in the afternoon.

In the first ultrasound the kid was sitting indian style with the legs crossed, making it impossible to see the goods. The woman performing the ultrasound did share with me a theory, and she showed me her logic behind the theory, but she said she can't be sure until she sees better proof. Maybe next time ...

Well, I didn't know this at the time, but the next time I would have an ultrasound would be about 8 hours later. I was so excited because I thought for sure that the kid would have moved around. Believe it or not the kid was making it even tougher to see anything the second time around ... he/she was sitting indian style again and this time leaning forward.

I'm convinced that the baby can hear already and knows the word "ultrasound" and gets into this position upon hearing the magic word.

The top picture above is from the second ultrasound, and you can see the position of the head and the slant of the spine showing the slumped over posture.

The bottom picture, with the hand, is from the first ultrasound. Either the baby is saying "Hi" to all his/her blog readers, or he/she is saying "Stop! Don't look at me I'm naked!"

Ugh!!! I want to know now!!!

So I've extended the poll and will keep you all posted....

I forgot to tell Anabelle the secret for ultrasounds... You have drink a regular Coke before going! It's get the baby dancing every time.
