Naming Convention

Megan and I have gone back and forth quite a bit on names for our future daughter.  We finally settled with Charlotte and plan on calling her Charley.  Besides the fact that we just like the name, it's also after my late grandfather Clarence Charles Peters.  Charlotte is the feminine form of Charles which means "strong man".  So, we interpret Charlotte to mean "strong woman" which we know she will be! 

For a middle name, we chose Jane after my mother's middle name.  Charlotte Jane Peters rolls off the tongue nicely!

Gender Specific

I really like the above profile that the ultrasound technician was able to get today.  The baby's starting to look more human and less alien like.  More importantly, we found out today that we'll be having another princess to occupy our home!

It's a Girl!

Wish I had more time to elaborate, but here are the pics.  First thing the sonagrapher did was immediately indicate it was a girl.  I didn't quite follow, but apparently the arrow below is the female indicator:

16 Week Checkup

Today, I went with Megan to her 16 week checkup.  Nothing too exciting, except for this time I did get to hear the actual heartbeat which was really cool (I previously complained that I missed this the first time).  However, the next checkup that is tentatively scheduled for June 7th, they are going to try and determine the sex of the baby.  Hopefully we will be able to find out, but Megan is convinced our child will keep it's legs closed throughout the duration of the pregnancy and we won't know until the delivery room!
