Well, we know what we are having... {18 weeks!}

But... we aren't telling yet! :)

We had our gender scan done on Tuesday evening at this adorable place in a nearby town. It was really quick but super comfortable. They took us in this room and the table I laid on was really comfy. They had a big screen TV that projected the ultrasound happenings so we could see everything clearly. I drank some orange juice before the appointment because I heard that it makes the baby move more and boy oh boy did Bean kick up a storm! It was soooo cute to see. My breath was just taken away because the last time I saw Bean, it looked like... a bean. And now it's baby shaped.

We do have some pictures to share with you all though:

We are still debating on when to spill the beans about Bean, but right now I think we are waiting until the 20 week mark. We have an appointment next week with our OB and then the following week we have the "official" anatomy scan at the hospital. And after that we will probably announce it. I hope you all can hold out another two weeks. ;)
I love knowing the gender though. It made it *that* much more real to me. <3

This week Bean is the size of a sweet potato! (A small one, really...)

And here is what BabyCenter.com says about the baby:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

My bump is growing :)

We have started working on the registry though, and we will be posting the info for that next week once it has more stuff in it. ;)
