An update :)

My appointment today at the office of Maternal-Fetal Medicine was wonderful. Watching your own child play with his/her toes and suck his/her thumb in utero is... utterly amazing. And so are the words "perfectly healthy" and "thriving".
Peanut's heartbeat was 143. Perfect. He/she more than DOUBLED in size and weight since last time, which is great. However, Peanut is currently at the 15th percentile for his/her gestational age. But other than being tiny, and of course the gastroschisis (which he/she seems to be completely oblvious about), THE BABY IS PERFECT!
I know the gender!
And I honestly wasn't expecting to be able to find out, since they couldn't tell at my last two ultrasounds. When I heard those three words, "It's a _____", I was ecstatic. Over the moon. Suddenly, I have this all new connection to my child. I can soon call him/her by a REAL NAME, not just Peanut.
But I'm waiting for my husband to call me (the time difference from the US to South Korea is really strange), so I can't post it until tomorrow.
So for now, what are your guesses? BOY or GIRL?

    I'm going to guess girl, but only because that's what you kind of seemed to lean towards before.

    (But, if you hadn't have said that, I would have guessed boy.)

    So, yeah, I'm guessing both. ;)

    Oh, that's wonderful news! So happy to hear everything is great! Such a relief! When was your last syno? I hate waiting long periods between synos! My last one was in July and my next one is at the end of the month and I'm so paranoid!
    Oh, and I'm gonna say it's a girl! :)
