Here's what's going on with bean these days:
Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a large sweet potato..Sweet potato?! So much for "Bean"...although "My Little Sweet Potato" doesn't have the same ring to it.) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more (not yet :( ). Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin and her ears are now in position and stand out from her head (should I stop swearing so much?). Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If your baby is a boy, his genitals are noticeable, though he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
I have my next ultrasound next Wednesday!!

Awwww.
I agree that baby bean sounds much sweeter than baby potato:)
Glad to hear everything is going well with you.
Quit swearing? Next you'll have us believe you've quit drinking too!
Are you going to learn if it's a boy bean or a girl bean, or do you want it to be a surprise?
I think my mom calls me her "Sweet Potato" and her "Little Kumquat." And somtimes "Sweetie Pie."
What's with lovey names and food? Sheesh...
Can't wait to see more pictures!! :)
awwww, you're having a potato
aww, your little sweet potato! when do you really find out what the sex is?
HMMMM... well, if you wanna call it something like "sweet potato," you could always call it your "tater tot"
Mine was "Lumpy".
Happy ultrasounding babe! We want pictures...
