Don Juan was not prepared for the paparazzi and the ultrasound tech had to do a lot of prodding to get him/her to stop covering his/her face. I stuck to my guns about not finding out the sex. I think Chris thought I'd cave at the last minute, but I really want the surprise. Although, we think there may be some little boy parts showing (check the full body profile pic and let me know what you think). We'll know for sure in September! Everything looked fine to the doctor. Don Juan is in the 40th percentile in size...so he/she is a little one, but that is perfectly fine to me. I keep hearing about all these Minnesota 10 lb babies and I'd rather not have one of those!
I've heard many old wives tales to figure out if we are having a boy or girl. This week though, a new study was published about women who eat breakfast, specifically cereal, are more likely to have a boy. The study seems to be under fire in terms of its validity so I'll take it as another old wives tale. For those of you who know me, I am a huge cereal fan. My mom pointed out that the study did not look at women who ONLY eat cereal because there was a time in my life when I would have probably qualified for that. Here's the link to the study...yes, it made the NYTimes. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/boy-or-girl-the-answer-may-depend-on-moms-eating-habits/?em&ex=1209268800&en=d56ad30a16aa7ce0&ei=5087%0A
Finally I've been having many more instances of "kung pao chicken" Last night I was woken up by a somersault and a few kicks and punches. It is a lot of fun and almost worth giving up sleep.

Wow, Don Juan is so cute and likeable. Look at the little guy/girl - he/she has his/her grandpa Henry's shyness, sense of humor, and intelligence. It's amazing what is possible with ultrasound now-a-days.
Laura called today and said she was so happy because it was halfway. I guess she did not do well in math. 20 weeks is not halfway to 18 years.
Maybe he/she was trying to scratch the back of it's head like it's Dad when he's stressed out.
John, well said about the 20 week comment.
I think math difficulties seem to run in the family... 18 years - I don't think so... it is much longer than that! :>)
Don Juan is quite the looker - I say guys/girls should beware!
aunt jo
Don Juan will definitely have the girls/guys lining up to meet him/her! However, Grandpa Henry's shyness?? If that is the case......well, he/she will be quite the performer!! :-) Can't wait to actually meet him/her!!! Lots of love!!!
