Our little Mr. Sea Monkey is active and healthy, with all fingers and toes and weighing in at a pound and a half. We got to watch him open his eyes, suck his thumb, wave, and kick. And yes, we got a look at his little boy bits too. Here's a shot of his face in profile. Pretty cute for a fetus!
It's traditional to ask expecting parents if they "know what they're having." Now here's a question for you: How does knowledge of a baby's sex change your way of thinking about the pregnancy, the baby, the child's future, etc? I'd really love your input, so please respond to this posting or email me if you've got something to share. Thanks!

I would have to say knowing the sex does not change anything for me. The one thing I do know is a purchased the wrong gift, I thought it was going to be a girl.
I've heard friends raising boys talk about this book: Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys by Dan Kindlon and Michael Thompson. I haven't looked at it myself, and I haven't heard any friends' reviews recently, but I think they were pretty into it a while back.
Do you get the feeling he is a xx stuck in a xy body?
Maybe he could have his sex changed at birth so she won't have to change it on the birth certificate later in life.
I just want to know two things:
What to call "him", is he Fausto? And are you taking off his turtle neck?
Cheers and good health to you all!
Lo que mas importa es que sea una personita muy querida y afortunada por tenerlos a ustedes dos como sus padres...ah! y a mi como su abuelita ;-))
