We find out tomorrow! If you haven't voted yet, take your pick. I'll post some ultrasound photos tomorrow and if I ever figure out how to do it, one day I might be able to post a video, because my doctor's office is cool enough to offer to film this milestone.
The baby (hence forward to be known by an actual name and a regular he or she and not "heorshe") is the wigglin'est creature known to man. I actually felt the first movement really early, at 15 weeks 6 days. I know different women describe the feeling different ways, but for me, this was nothing like butterflies in my stomach - not in the least. My sister said something about a fish and at times, it does feel just like that, because this baby is doing some serious flips and sommersaults. I described it to Geoff as having a very irregular pounding heart in your belly. It just feels like the baby is pushing around and bumping around in there, and doing flips. And I'm seriously amazed at how often I feel movement. Everyone I've talked to keeps asking if I notice a schedule, and I'm just now getting good at really knowing these are baby movements, so I'm not sure yet. The funny/fun thing is that heorshe jumped yesterday when my coworker slammed a file drawer shut - I guess it was loud enough to startle the baby. Even Geoff is talking to the baby now, something I didn't think he would do much because he's not one to do things that make him feel silly.
On another note, Geoff is home (finally) and he passed his MCSA (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator) tests. This was a big deal, especially considering he was very sick the entire 8 days of classes and testing. He returned home and went straight to the doctor to discover that he has a pretty good case of pneumonia. He's pretty pitiful, but he and the grandmothers will be coming with me tomorrow to the ultrasound. It's late in the day, so don't expect word here until late tomorrow night. :)
