Any early guessers?

I forgot to include the binoculars in the last post. When we put our curled hands up to our eyes, we say we're looking through binoculars. When Ellis does it she says she's looking through her "big-occulars" and when she just uses her fingertips, she says she's looking through her "little-occulars" and just today she introduced me to her "really-tiny-baby-occulars" :)

I had a 12 week (and 4 days) ultrasound yesterday. It was so wonderful to see a bigger baby along with a strong heartbeat, a spine, two-halves of a brain, an ear (I assume they're both there, but I only saw one), a bum and out-stretched legs, and a waving arm. Hard to believe there's a little person inside me growing like nobody's business every second of every day.

We are definitely going to (try to) find out the sex at 20 weeks. SOOOO...any guesses? The only clues I can give you are:

-I had a dream that at a very early ultrasound we saw the distinguishing characteristic of a boy.
-It's hard for me to picture a boy added to our family. A girl is easy to picture.
-We have a boy name we like enough to actually use.
-We have a girl name we like enough to actually use.

That's all I've got. Your guess is really as good as mine.

I love that Ellis is looking at the world through big occulars and baby occulars! Wow, too much for my heart! I do not have a cell phone right now....it took a swim with Lulu...call me at home..I really miss you! Loads of love to all of you and little baby boy!

Brooke - I will say it is a girl - only because it is easier for me to picture another little lady joining the family. But if I am honest I am hoping for a boy. :) Either way he/she will be loved like crazy!!
