Another great ultrasound and a gender clue?

This past week we had another ultrasound done which included a couple of 3D peeks at our beautiful baby. Every thing is coming along wonderful and the doctor found nothing at all to be concerned about related to Danielle's diabetes. The baby's size is just under 2 lbs now and is in the 30th percentile for size. Neither of us were very large babies so we believe that should be the case for our little one as well. Danielle is probably more hopeful for that than me for some reason. I think she's particularly happy that my nickname when I was little was 'Little Mike' instead of 'Big ol Satelite Head Kenan'.

Ok, so on with the scientific studies. I often talk to DLB about how excited we are, how we love him/her so much, and sometimes a little scolding if there's a little too much bladder bouncing going on. That last one is so I can feel a little involved in this whole incubation thing since Danielle seems to be capitalizing on all that stuff so far. Anyway, back to my little test. This afternoon I called "Laura Anne" to the right side of Danielle's belly and got a kick. Tried "Laura" on the left side and got the same result. Then I tried "Daniel Laurence" and "Daniel" and neither one illicited any response. After entering the results into the new Microsoft Baby Aural Response Analysis and Scientific Synopsis (or M-BARASS for short) I have come to the conclusion that our baby must be girl since the response to it's new name was so obvious and immediate. Or it is definately a boy and was simply bopping me in the head for being so silly to call him by the girls name. That and we all know that if a boy is concentrating on something, like let's say growing a lung or toenails or watching baseball, it takes alot more than 2 or 3 times of calling of his name to get any response so it really could point towards DLB using selective hearing. Which I think is developed in week 30 so we are way ahead of the game!

So basically we still only know we are having a baby, and it's o' so stinkin' cute!
