Eight Weeks

Angie is 8 weeks pregnant today. Today is also the last day the embryo is considered an embryo. Tomorrow it will officially be a fetus. Crazy what info these online due date calculators can tell you now. I considered putting one of those baby ticker widgets on the sidebar of this blog and found a really cool one that has a picture of what the embryo/fetus looks like at the particular gestation its is at, but since it is still so early and our embryo still looks sort of like a jellybean-sized squid, I thought I would hold off on that for a month or two.

Thanks for voting in my poll to those that voted. Unfortunately the only way to find out the results seems to be to log in to my account, so I will just tell you that 9 people have voted to find out now, 2 voted for 20 weeks, and 3 of you have unbelievable patience and would not find out until birth. Looks like I side with the majority of you, and called the clinic yesterday to ask them to find out. Now, remember, they transferred two embryos, so if we had one of each gender transferred, then we will be forced to wait until the anatomy scan to find out which one implanted.

The clinic called me at 8 am this morning (of course, my only day off and Fletcher was still asleep until the phone rang...) and both embryos transferred were the same gender. And I am going to be coy and not post the results yet! I want you guys to comment with your guesses, and if you are feeling really talkative, let me know why you think it is the gender you think it is. I thought about being really mean and saying I would not post gender until I get at least 10 guesses in the comments but (1) I don't really think anyone but myself and my immediate family really care all that much and (2) I have already told my immediate family and most readers either fall into that category or speak on the regular basis to someone who falls into that category.

So, check back soon for the big reveal!
