No, It's not an alien!

So Vanessa and I are in the docs office andthe doctor continues to squirt gel all over Vanessa's big belly running the instrument here and there. I squint as I look and try to see if I can make out the sex as I watch our little prodigy move about as it is projected on the big TV screen on the wall. I think I might see something. It's.. - whooa, that is big- and then realize it is the umblical cord. I see the little hand and quickly count to make sure there are five little fingers. Pheww. My heart begins to race as the doctor takes measurement of the head, femur, and arms. "Yep," he says, "that looks good, yep, normal..." NICE! I can feel my eyes get bigger as we watch the blood being transported from the little kidneys, the placenta, the umblical cord...whooaa. The doctor laughs and asks if we want to know the sex. He says he knows the sex and starts calling the baby "Honey" - so does that mean it's a girl? Or boy? The doctor grabs my arm and rubs his hand through my forest of hair and smiles. He looks deep into my eyes and says, "It is very good." Maybe YOU can tell if it is a boy or girl from the picture? It is exciting. The wonderful thing is Vanessa and Baby "D"ickey are healthy and doing well. So, do you think it is a boy or girl?
