We have not decided on a name for the baby yet, but we have nicknamed her Attie (yes, we found out it's going to be a girl!). Just wanted to share the story behind the nickname - before we knew whether it was going to be a girl or boy, one of Anselm's choices for a possible boy name was "Atticus" (from Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird). It wasn't exactly my favorite, but we started calling the baby "Attie" for short, and now it's stuck! We are even considering naming her Addison so we can continue calling her Addie (which sounds just like Attie)... it will probably be her middle name :) but who knows, i seem to come up with a different favorite name every week!The picture is an ultrasound taken when Attie was only 10 weeks old in June 2007. She was only about 1.5 inches long.
The video below was taken at 14 weeks. Her head is on the left of the monitor screen, and her body on the right side. Might be a little difficult to make out, but you can actually see her moving her left arm around near her head, like she's waving! =)
