Week 17: travels, names and anatomy

Hello and goodbye to week 17. Here is what mom and baby were up to this week:

Visited the Broadmoor Hotel and Seven Falls in Colorado Springs for a business trip. Life is hard.

Baby grew to almost 6 inches and about the size of a sweet potato

Or the man sizing chart according to myboyscanswim.com the baby is the size of a hockey puck.

Decided on a new girl's name that I adore (it is growing on Owen):

Visited our OBGYN for a check-up. The heartbeat was 160 beats per minute which sometimes can indicate a girl!

I took the blood tests to determine if baby has any diseases that we should know about before birth. Those results come back in 10 days.

We got our official date for the anatomy ultrasound where we should find out if it is a boy or a girl - October 8.
