Teeny peenies (as Gina likes to call them)

We just saw a teeny peeny in our ultrasound with Aunt GG yesterday!! A boy for us!

Gina, did I spell that right? At 17 weeks our baby boy is already getting ahead of the game, measuring a whole week bigger than normal...at the last one, he was only 2 days ahead of schedule. Alas, I am not the least bit surprised as ginormous babies run in at least my side of the family (mom had 2 girls over 10lbs and 1 boy over 11lbs!!) I'm scared! I was hoping that the coffee I've been drinking would really cause the "low birth weight" it threatens to according to all those pregnancy health sites. I guess that doesn't mean it's also a remedy for huge babies. Sigh.

Well that's alright because one thing I can say is that Blob of Goo has all his parts in the right place and looks like a real human being now. He is also, for certain, a human doing since once again he was all over the place kicking and punching and turning somersaults! Gina is still nervous about babysitting. Watch out!

So what should we name him?? Any suggestions?
