Still a Girl!

I had an ultrasound earlier this week and got confirmation that it's still a girl! Everything else with the ultrasound looked good too. I'm 25 weeks along now, and she's estimated to be about 1 pound, 9 ounces.

The pictures were a bit harder to make out this time. This is a profile shot from the side, with her head on the left, and her arm and hand sticking up.

This is looking straight at her face--the roundish shape in the middle. Her nose shows up very white, and you can make out her left eye pretty well.


Some other exciting news is that we're finally going to have our first speech therapy session for Jack this evening. It's been about 2 months since we started the process of getting him enrolled in the program--though I was just talking to my coworker, and she says it took 3 months for her child, so maybe 2 months isn't so bad.

He's actually been making a lot of progress lately on his own. He's not really saying more words, but he's started saying almost all the letters of the alphabet. I'll have to get a video of him sometime. It's really cute; for some of the letters he pronounces them phonetically versus saying the letter ("P" is "puh," B is "buh," etc.) He's also getting better about repeating things after us and experimenting with new sounds, which he was always reluctant to try before. So maybe it won't take too many sessions for him to start saying some words!
