Meeting Lil Bugger

Today is one of my favorite days in pregnancy. IT is the first time I get to meet the little one and see what is in store. When we found out about 4-5 weeks ago, we were excited and nervous. We have gone through random sickness, dizziness, and just general blahs. And now, we have seen the little one.

As with all my kids, I make a guess with in 2 weeks of finding out I am expecting on whether or not it is a boy or girl. With this one, I have a strong feeling it is a little boy. Another tradition is letting the technician of the ultrasound give the baby a nickname. This one's nickname is Bugger. The tech said, "The lil bugger is moving around a lot." Morvin also said, "The lil bugger looks like he is jumping." With Evelyn, it was peanut, and with Wayne it was tadpole.

Today the baby measured at 10 weeks 3 days, with a due date of November 26. He had a heart rate of 167 which we were told was normal. As we watched, he was just jumping and playing around. Lil Bugger has two arms and hands, and two feet, the toes are just growing and according to various websites, he is only 1 and half inches long.

Wayne's response was "Only one, cool!" and to the nickname, "Is that appropriate, Mom?" Eve's response was "Baby!"
