IT'S A GIRL!!!

Today, October 15, 2007 -- a day that will live in infamy. The Velazquez Family was suddenly and deliberately told by their doctor that they were having a girl!!!

Though this rough ultrasound view won't have any really "telling" images for you at home, her lack of a penis had the doctor pretty certain (98% she said) that we were having a girl. Baby was just over 10 inches head to toe and weighed in at 14 ounces -- both right on schedule. Baby's heartbeat was crazy strong and we couldn't be happier. Now, it's time to get started on the nursery!

Baby Belly -- Week 21


And here's the outside belly view in Week 21. It doesn't look drastically bigger from this angle, but the sides of her belly are so much harder. At our Week 21 ultrasound (above), the doctor said that the baby weighed a healthy 14 ounces already. And yes, many of you have made comments on how brave Wendy is for showing her belly to the masses -- but those of you who know her know that her belly has always been FANTASTIC (Eric's words, not Wendy's). Long, slender and lean, her belly is one of the things Eric fell in love with first! Now, it's full of baby! Feel free to leave your comments on our board here.

Belly or Basketball?


Okay...here's her belly at Week 18. At the bottom of the page, you'll see Wendy's belly at Week 13. Look at what a difference five weeks makes! Week 21 photos are above.

A Trip Down Memory Lane...


Long before little Neutron was even a thought, these two incredibly handsome kids took their vows. Let us then reminisce -- let's go back to May 28, 2006 when these two got hitched. Visit their wedding photos here:

A View of the Womb

Here's a few peeks at our Week 13 ultrasound. Baby Neutron -- that's the latest nickname because of the head-to-body ratio here -- was active and not at all shy during this close-up. In the third video, you'll see the bones of the baby's face -- baby looks a little like Skeletor, but we love him/her anyway. You'll also catch Eric chatting up the doc like a rookie dad. Our next ultrasound at Week 21 should show us the baby's sex!

We apologize...some of the images get shaky at times since they were done with a tiny digital camera.
