It's a BOY!

McBaby is officially a BOY! We had some early testing done for Down Syndrome and Cystic Fibrosis and all were low risk. One of the other positives to living in Houston is the proximity to the latest medical advances, so we decided to take advantage. We took the "Jack and Jill" test so our doctor called it, or the DNA Fetal Gender Determination Test at the Center for Medical Genetics here in Houston. It's a test that can tell you the gender of your baby as early as 11 weeks! So we now know that we are having a BOY and can start planning ahead for him. We would have known a week earlier, but we forgot to call the hotline to listen (we were busy at the rodeo).

Also today, at 14 weeks 5 days, we had another appointment with the doctor. All was good and Mr. McBaby's heart rate was at 164, which the doctor mentioned was good and strong. She laughed, said he was excited and wanted to know what I had for lunch.. I told her I had Cheese It's for a snack and she decided he was just ready for dinner!

I don't have any pictures for this post, but we will have some good ones in the next month since we have our full Ultra Sound coming up!
