17 weeks

We saw the doctor again today and everything is fine. We like the doctor because the first thing he said to us this morning was, "And how is that exceptional child doing?" Heartbeat is strong and steady and Monkey loves to kick against the seatbelt when we're riding in the car. We'll be setting up our next ultrasound sometime next week, so we should know what gender Monkey is by the beginning of March.

Again, we say: NO PINK, PLEASE!

New stats:
17 weeks, 1 day
just over 5" long (still not measuring legs)
just under 5 oz

A well-known local artist and friend of the Zoo Keepers is working on sketches for the nursery. A magical forest (like the Chronicles of Narnia, not a jungle) should be in place in the next week or two.
