Well, the good news is that our baby looks healthy and everything is going great. The not-so-good news is that we have a very modest little one who chose not to show off it's little private parts. Can you even believe it? I still can't. Baby is breech right now and it's little legs are curled up in such a way that it is covering it's little area. It's really not that big of a deal, I guess. A lot of people wait, right? I just will have to hold off on buying the sweet flowery girl/cute fishy boy crib set from Potterybarn a little longer. I like yellow. I like white. It's not a big deal. Think of all of the money we will save by not knowing. All those cute little outfits I will put back because I just don't know. It's a good thing.

They are going to give us another quick look at around 28 weeks, but the doctor seemed doubtful that we will have a better view. She said the baby will most likely stay breech until the last month. It really is all my fault. I was breech. I just hope this little guy doesn't stay breech.

We were able to see our babies developing organs and bones and cute little face. It was great and I am really fine with not knowing. I am kind of wondering if I even want to find out at 28 weeks if we can. I probably will.

I think I am now allowed to start discussing names again with Shane. Not sure we are going to share our picks with the world. We may give a few options, but keep the number one picks a secret. At this point we have decided to tell everyone who asks that it will be Erik if it's a boy and Shana if it's a girl. That's all I will tell you.
