For those across the equator and state lines, I thought I'd offer the latest on Fetus Beta, a.k.a. Han Solo. The latest ultrasound, which occurred last Friday, revealed that all parts for convenient human living are in place--arms, legs, feet, spine, stomach, kidneys, etc.--and in great shape. Han Solo is healthy, active, and even a little bigger than normal--I felt kicking for the first time yesterday! The big news--besides the fact that everything is in working order so far--is that Han Solo is in fact Han Sola. A girl! We didn't ask the doctor if she was 100% sure, but given the image we saw,
I'm 100% sure. So, we're really excited and now the hunt is on for the right name. Suggestions are welcome (why do I think that "Guillermina" is going to find its way into the Comments?), but we've decided not to reveal the top contenders until the birthday, just so we don't have to hear people pooping on names that we really like. And, if I think your suggestion sucks, I'll tell you right away so that you don't carry false hope all the way until April, only to have your dreams crushed. That's how thoughtful I am.
In the meantime, enjoy the latest picture below. I added some guides so that her position can best be identified--she's on her back with her legs straight in the air. Her left arm is free and moving around (though you can barely see it at the moment of this shot) and she was lying on her right arm.
I think it's time for a Xime update now...

JB! I´m soooo happy for you!!! I got your email and i´m going to write back in length, but until then, this posting will have to suffice. I couldn´t wait any longer to tell you how happy i am for you and Alex. I know you were hoping for a girl. And of course, she is going to be the una nina muy hermosa.
I have so many names to share w- you guys. Now that you´re having a girl, my chances of you naming your child after me - whether it be my name exactly or some form of it, you know like Julia-Julian- have increased exponentially. I have a feeling that Natalio or Natalian wouldn´t have flown well. And of course, now you can seriously consider Beth Edith Ruth.
Again, congratulations. Stay healthy!!! Alex, take care of her! I can´t wait to see you guys. I´m coming home just a few days early. It looks like i´ll arrive December 10- Sunday. yay!!!!!

FELICITACIONES!!!! no se dan una idea de lo FELIZ que estoy for you guys!!!!!! (Juli, por favor translate esto para Alex). Ustedes saben que los quiero mucho (mucho mucho más de lo que expreso) y saber que están pasando por este momento tan maravilloso me llena de alegría y de ganas de vivir un poco más cerca...
juli, ya se ve tu pancita??...ver las ecos de Julian, Juan Segundo, y "ella" me hace re-vivir las ecos de mis hijos y esa sensación inexplicable de escucharlos y sentirlos...no tiene precio.
Otra vez, los quiero y los felicito.
Noel
Thanks, Noel!
Yes, my belly has definitely "popped" and, judging by the stares of the people in my office, is pretty noticeable. It's not too big though--just there. I feel like this is a very slow process, but I'm enjoying it and I can foresee missing this part once the baby is born.
