Brett & Megan

We just finished another successful ultrasound visit to the doctor. This 5-month ultrasound is mostly so that you can see how all the internal organs are developing. Here’s a shot of the backbone. Once again, Brett used a handy, online photo-doodling tool to add his own interpretations (we were kidding before, it’s not really a tool on the ultrasound machine).

It’s so cool to see these pics live while the fetus is squirming. Hey, I’m a biology dweeb. And of course, we also found out the gender – we’re having a GIRL!

It’s a little hard to tell but the thing that looks like a horseshoe pointing to the right is a view from underneath the fetus’ bottom and legs. Dr. Teng (who seems super proficient with the ultrasound tools) typed the word ‘girl’ right where a boy’s pee-pee would be. You can barely make out two small white buds that are the labia. Then it a rare moment, she turned her head to show off a pink bow on her head (see lower photo). That pretty much made it a slam dunk.

We both took the day off to go to the morning appointment. Afterwards we ate at Marston’s – a fantastic little restaurant in Pasadena where all the students from a nearby culinary school get jobs because it’s known for it’s fantastic food.  After some huevos rancheros and macadamia nut pancakes for brunch we sat and digested in a bookstore while looking through baby name books. We’ve got some in mind – but we’re going to keep them a closely-guarded secret until she’s born.

We’re totally excited and can’t wait to meet this next little Harvey girl!
