June 8 I had an ultrasound done. It was called a fetal fibronectin (not sure of name or spelling). It was a test for Down Syndrome and Spina Bifida and other birth defects. The window for testing was really strict and I missed the first appointment. So by this appointment you were much too long, but I was unofficially assured by the ultrasound tech that you looked just fine. You are 87cm long (from crown to rump) and your heart rate is 162. We are still sticking with the plan of not finding out whether you are a boy or girl until you are born. However the entire time I was watching the ultrasound, I kept thinking that you are a girl. Of course I thought Ariel was a boy up until the day she was born. I even had to take purchases back because I thought I was being neutral. When in fact, I was buying slightly more masculine baby clothes, but in neutral colors. Cailin I thought was a boy. All the way up until the ultrasound, when I found out she was a girl :). So so far, I am O for 2. The doctor says that so far everything looks good. We can't wait to meet you!
