Our first appointment with Kaiser was definitely an interesting one. We were both psyched about checking out the new facility and doing our first formal ultrasound to learn the gender of the baby, but at 2am the night before, Taryn got really sick. She started running a fever of well over 100 degrees. When we finally made it in to the facility, they recorded her temp at 101.7. Not good! Because she was so dehydrated we weren't able to do the ultrasound, so no news about the flavor of that jellybean yet. But Taryn is feeling much better, and the baby couldn't be healthier! (Our formal ultrasound is scheduled for Nov. 4th) 
We were able to hear the baby's heartbeat, which is exactly where we want it to be. But because it's on the high side of the healthy average, Taryn's pretty certain that we're having a baby girl. God help me! We came away with these two pictures of the little bugger. In both you can see pretty clearly the head and spinal cord - both of which are perfect! And in the top picture you can see parts of the developing brain. That's right, we're having a genius!

What a cute brain :)
I still think Baby Bacon is a girl too, but don't count too strongly on the heartrate... Baby James was over 150bpm at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 16 weeks, and he didn't drop to 148bpm until that 20 week appointment.....
