it's a . . . !

Well, we know the gender.

We found out this morning with the same battle ax technician that wouldn't tell us what we were having last time. This time, she was much more amiable (although still piping in the grating strains of hard rock music from Power 104, much to Baby Pear Tree's chagrin) and let us in on the secret.

It's so exciting to know! It makes everything feel more real, we can narrow down our name search AND we know what to look for in terms of clothing, toys and other essential accoutrements.

Here are some shots from this morning:



Left: Baby PT's face is sideways, across the screen, kind of looking down at you.

Well, the midriff continues to expand. I felt like I was somewhat big and pregnant looking during the first photo shoot, a week before six months. But now, when I compare it to today's shots, at seven months plus one week, well, there's no comparison. I feel fully inflated now, but suspect there is still some growing to do.
