we're having a baby lio!

yesterday, while the lil girl was busy being super malikot and super makulet in the ultrasound room (ilang beses pong sinabihan ng "no" at "shhh" ang ate joel), baby li was doing a lil bit of acrobatics inside the womb that the sonographer didn't get a good glimpse of baby li's face. but she was able to capture the "boy" part easily!

can you see the cute "patotoy" in between his thighs?

knowing that we're having a baby boy is actually just a big fat bonus that we got from our ultrasound appointment yesterday. more than anything, we are happy that baby li is a normal and healthy baby as seen from the ultrasound. as per his measurements, he's also very close to his due date.

here's the nicest profile pic that we got...

my dear baby, the guessing game's finally over! maybe i knew from the start that you're a boy since if you've noticed, i've been talking to you as if you were a boy. the physical signs have also been different with you and when i was pregnant with your ate joel. the linea negra, pigmentation and darkening of whatever needs to get dark came in early when i was preggo with ate joel. everyone was guessing we'll be having a boy then. probably because i was too ugly. no pregnancy glow at all.

but with you, i feel as pretty as ever! hahaha. nothing's been darkening yet. and you have to look close just to see the linea negra. signs that a baby girl is being carried in a momma's womb... maybe they will all come in with a vengeance during the 3rd trimester. hmm, we have yet to see.

and i have first dreamt about you being a boy... or maybe we're just really desperate and longing for you to be one. teehee. ah, whatever! i just want you to be healthy and satisfied always while you reside for a few more months in mommy's womb. ok?

woohoo! we're having a baby boy... our baby lio! the daddy is very happy indeed!
