conclusive!

phew! after 3 weeks of waiting for our 2nd ultrasound, we finally got the news we've been waiting for. it's definitely a boy (we saw his penis! haha!) and all the measurements and stats that were needed for a "conclusive" ultrasound were gathered! we'll get the official word from our midwife at our next appointment, but the technician at bc womens told us everything looked fine. our 3 lb. bun is growing well and very active...he kept waving at us :-) the pictures we got today weren't very flattering though...it appears he might have my surly personality...i definitely saw a frown on his face. hahaha!

and also on the baby-front, my iron level is low, so now i have to take more pills to keep the 2 of us going strong. darn all these pills i have to take! good thing chris is a butcher...we'll just be eating a lot more steaks over the next 2 months :-) on a happier note, despite all the sugar i've been craving and consuming the past 2 weeks, the gestational diabetes results were normal!

lastly, congrats to jen & family who welcomed their baby boy yesterday! she's the first of four of my friends due on july 21...a very popular date!
