Ultrasound!
It went great! We are having one baby (whew!) and while the ultrasound person didn't see any boy parts and leaned toward it being a girl, she said, "Don't run out and buy all pink clothes based on this!" The baby was really active so the technician had a hard time getting the shots she needed. This was the best grainy black and white TV show I've ever seen. :-) We saw the baby's heart, brain, arms, legs -- very cool.
It's amazing how much closer I feel to the baby now, especially since I realized some of the random tingly feelings I'd been feeling when drifting off to sleep are almost certainly the little one moving around. I guess I'd been expecting repeated sensations in one spot. Now that I see what a circus he/she's got going on in there, the randomness makes a lot more sense.
