Week 11

The Little Grape has now gone long past the size of a grape (that was week 8, when we had our first sonogram) and is now the size of a lime.  Making her a limey in two different ways.  She's also the size of Max's fist.

Max has always said he wants another sister.  I guess that is good news for his relationship with Meggie.
Meggie has been saying she wants a brother, but this week she switched over to a sister.

We can't find out for sure for another 2 months, but I'm going to go with she/her until we find out at the end of August.

This week's task: Make teeth, learn to make fists (she will need her own punching ring before long).

How the Little Grape was Named

Special Thanks to Qwagsie, Amlyn, and Tes for deciding the newest baby should be called "The Little Grape."

We had our sonogram at 8 weeks, when the baby was about the size of a grape.  We saw one baby, in the right place, with a good heartbeat.  Even tho the baby will get up to the size of a watermelon (gasp!) we'll stick with The Little Grape.  Apparently forever.  Even after she graduates from college.  :)

Sonogram 1

This was the 8 week sonogram.  I can't figure out how to turn it up the other way so you will just have to imagine the Little Grape hanging from the top instead of resting at the bottom.
