Baby the second

We went up to Albuquerque for an ultrasound and amniocentesis yesterday, and here's what we saw:





And the gender is... undetermined. Babe was too squirmy for us to figure it out -- doc said chances are it's a girl because (during the half-millisecond the babe gave us any clear view at all) she didn't see any evidence to the contrary, but don't get out that pink yarn yet, mom. We'll find out for sure when the amnio results come back, late next week. All the other baby parts look to be in place, and the heart was beating well, so things look good so far.

Lazarus watched the ultrasound on screen, too, but I don't think he connected the grainy, liquid black-and-white image with a "baby." He does love patting my growing belly, though. Can't wait to see what he thinks of it in another few months.
