Caught red handed!

Well it’s official, Fetus Lovering is in fact a boy. So much so, we caught him playing with his first toy in uteruo. You got it, the little dude already found his penis.

It’s amazing to be able to see the difference after four early weeks. This time he looks much bigger and very human (hey, we all looked like little freaks when we were 10/12 weeks into growth). All of our testing seemed to go well. He has a good nose, non-cleft lip, good bones and a full belly. So he earned his gold star for the day.

I love these appointments. It really allows me to get that closer connection to everything going on. Mandy is starting to feel him move around. I’ve just started trying to feel him myself, but I think he’s a little too small for us to feel it from the outside right now. Soon, I can’t wait!

I’m hoping that feeling movement will help ease the nerves. Yesterday and last night I was wound up tight. Even when you know everything is okay, it’s that little bit of fear that you are about to find out something wrong. I’m not sure what it is, maybe it’s innocence lost from the last pregnancy not working out. Maybe this is parenthood and I need to learn to ignore the nerves and start drinking more. Either way, I’m already excited to see him again in five weeks.

Oh, names. We have two picked out and we’re waiting to see which one fits his personality. Don’t bother asking. No one is going to know his name until he’s breathing the same air as the rest of us.

Cheers!

Coming Soon: Registry and online baby pool. That’s right, we’re Lovering’s, we’ll put money down on anything!
