We had our monthly visit to the doctor today. We had lots of fun looking at the ultrasound and counting fingers and toes and nose holes. As you can see from the video below, the doctor spent a long time looking at the baby's heart. He was not quite sure if there is a hole in the heart between two of the chambers. We will go to a specialist in two weeks and get a Level II ultrasound. This will let us see much more detail and determine if the baby has a ventricular septal defect. It sounds like most VSDs clear up on their own, so we are not too concerned right now.
At the end, we asked the doctor if we should buy pink clothes or blue clothes. The doctor laughed again, but we are pretty sure he said to buy pink. Just after the 7:00 mark of the video, he measures the femur length and it appears that there is nothing between the leg with the femur he is measuring and the other leg below.
In the evenings, I can feel the baby hitting the other side of Rie's belly. I am trying to teach her Morse Code, but not making much progress.

: Thanks for the update, I'm sure those of us who have thoughts and good wishes are sending them your way.
and Avram, I wouldn't rush out to buy pink. Mameko might be a boy, you can't always tell by the mamogram, and it's very possible he just takes after you :)
