We're just at the end of our fourth month, and went in for an ultrasound. This was our final meeting with Linda, Allyson's favorite midwife to date--we'll be starting up with the nurse midwives soon.
This ultrasound was a mixed bag for me. We had gotten spoiled with fancier ultrasounds before this, and the topical method they used left us all with more of an impression than a full-on image of Binker. However, Binker was putting on quite a show! Once I had a handle on what I was looking at, I could see his head, body, hands and legs. And he was squirming and kicking and punching!
He's still too small for Allyson to really feel his movements yet, but she has a definite impression when Binker likes something, as well as when he doesn't.
For example, today when Binker was doing his first 5K, Allyson said she could tell that he was happy and had calmed down significantly. But when she lays down at night, Binker gets restless. Basically, he seems to like movement.
So I'm working out a way to make an Allyson-sized wind-up swing for her to sleep in at night. She's pushing her luck, though, and says she'd prefer a hammock that I rock back and forth and for me to fan her and feed her grapes.
We'll see.

Alright you call Binker "HE" so did you get to see if Binker is actually a HE??? Are you guys gonna find out? I felt Haven first kick in Germany, and it was WEIRD. Definitely feels like there's an alien in there. When you are up and moving it rocks the baby and so they sleep and hold still, and then when you hold still they get their exercise. Haven used to do Jazzercize every night when I was trying to go to sleep. Jazzercize. But hey, at least they are quiet when they're on the inside!!
Yeah, actually we still don't completely know for sure, but we're pretty sure we saw some equipment in there. The technician said she'd give it a 65% chance of being a boy.
At first I was totally amazed at Binker's package, but they had to tell me that was the umbilical cord.
Well, Binker still could be a girl. Bet you really couldn't see much? I thought Mason was a girl till he popped out! Yes, it was Jazzercize every night. "Binker is the reason that you never feel alone." 4 months! So exciting!
You're sure you're not gonna bounce Binker out running those races? (just kidding)
