And, the Hitchhiker is....
A BOY!
That's right ladies, this little heartthrob is already making his presence known. The US tech was like "Whoa. Definitely male." That's right...I build 'em good. 
After a fun-filled ultrasound (wherein I discovered I have anterior placenta and the baby is breech...anyone want to fill me in on this or should I just google it and scare the eff out of myself?), SMom, Dad, Bun and I went to a nice lunch, and then SMom and I went to the outlets here in town and bought beaucoup baby clothes. Well, okay...like, less than ten outfits, but wayyyy more than I had...which was nothing. They loved my owl-themed nursery idea, and SMom was feeling really generous, so they got me a boppy body pillow and a new driver's license (mine succumbed to pregnancy brain about 3 weeks ago and I have not been legal since >.<).
Then, I got home and checked my e-mail...and the place I interviewed with yesterday wants me to come in Monday for a second interview!! O_O
All in all, a great day with the folks...but man am I glad they are on their way home. I just want to snuggle up with the Bun, coo over my little boy Hitchhiker, and prep for landin' that awesome job. (Please ladies, keep all the bits you can cross crossed...this would be an amazing opportunity and we need the cash to buy this Hitchhiker some fuel!)
Re: And, the Hitchhiker is....
Welcome to Team Blue!
Sounds like you had a good day
Hooray for Team Peen!
Congrats
having an anterior placenta is no different than having a posterior placenta (as most women do) you prolly just won't feel him as often because he has to kick/punch through the placenta.
Most babies are breech at that point and will flip a bunch more times before birth so you'll be fine
Congrats on your BOY!!
Don't google...an anterior placenta only means that it is in the front of your belly. NORMAL
Nothing scary there. And baby being breech (head up, butt down) is NORMAL also at this stage. Baby bounces all over in there and can be in any position they want at this far along. Baby doesn't usually need to be in the head down (cephalic or vertex) position until about a month or so before birth. It's all good!
Sweet. I figured it was nothing to worry about, but it's nice to get the knowledge of the collective bump conciousness.
Welcome to team blue! Now you can have blue hooters instead of "green" LOL
Good luck on your second interview!!
Yay for penises!!!! I have been waiting for your post all day!! What a great day... now go relax and celebrate! : )
YAY!!!!!
I'm so glad you got to find out! Hopefully the other stuff will clear up before birth! ?
You ladies and your well wishes make the Hitchhiker and me both feel sooooo good.
We are a popular pair 'round here, we are guessing. :P
Like mah new ticker?! It's so cool to know what the Hitchhiker is..
Next Mission: Talk the Bun out of Jack, and into Finn / Finnley.
Finnley Jack Morris is a cute little boy name right? Hims could be ze tweetest buntin' out zer, couldn't hims?
Oh yeah, the baby talk is a go.
LOVE the name Finnley!! Talk him into it!!
I love Finn, but "Finn Jack" just sounds stupid. So I totally stole Finnley from ShawtyRed. She's not using it anymore, so I claim it, b!tches.
Haha, when we were set on Finley, that was EXACTLY why we didn't pick Finn. Finn Hugh just sounds silly.
Tell Bun to go with Finley Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
I am trying to. I am afraid he will think Finley sounds too trendy or feminine though. I am gathering baby-namer resources so I can prove to him it's an old name, Celtic, and masculine. If you have any tips, Shawty, I would appreciate them.
Hmmmmm... I'm not sure how much help I will be. I did switch it, after all. Haha... DH liked the name okay, but wasn't too into it. He liked that we could nickname him Finn though. Really push that. And let him know that it isn't that common, so his trendy argument should go out the window.?
I hope so...I am really afraid of getting peed on though.
Lol
I'm NEVER leaving that sucker uncovered whilst changing.
I think I need to invest in like a spray shield or something. :P Maybe a nice clear plastic peen guard. Lol
Thanks.
We are pretty fond of the nn Hitchhiker ourselves. Bun came up with it when I was really early on, and after a while it sort of just...stuck. Lol
Google "peepee tee pees". There are real items out there, made of cloth, machine washable, and more absorbent than trying to throw a diaper wipe over the twig and berries. Sometimes the shock of the cool air whilst being naked is enough to make them pee!
