Getting Bigger and Stronger

According to our favorite baby development website our little one now has an established gender! We still won't be able to tell on ultrasound until late March but it is fun to know the baby is continuing to develop. We are on day 50 so if you go to the website you can see the amazing growth that takes place from one day to the next.
