That is not, I repeat not, an enormous penis posing for the cameras on the ultrasound picture.
Genitalia fatter than our arms is not a family characteristic. A fact which allows the female members to breathe a sigh of relief. And walk in straight lines.That is not to say that there is, or isn't, a normal sized one tucked away in there somewhere, curled up just waiting to be a source of shame and embarrassment for the child, and probable hilarity for everyone else.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch, yesterday marked 21 weeks.
It's been a week in which we laid 20% of a floor, we chose a colour I previously never knew existed, and we finally brought home a drawer that the baby could sleep in, if it were able to assemble flat-pack furniture.
Under the heading of 'you couldn't make it up', ET's pregnancy brain made her adamant that somewhere in the house we have chocolate covered Doritos.
We don't. Thankfully.

Chocolate covered doritos sound nicer than they probably should to me right now.
And it looks like a leg. Not a penis.
You're not going to tell? You have a weird sense of privacy, mister.
@Veronica – Thought of it turned my stomach.
@Mwa – I would argue that others have a weird sense of entitlement.
How could anyone possibly mistake that leg for a penis? It's far too large and in the wrong spot.
Chocolate covered Doritos? Hmmm
are you shopping at Ikea?!?! LOL- flat packed furniture. :) That would be a HUGE um...'third' leg. Holy mackrel- like as big is his/her head!!!!!
wow.
:) yeah for 21 weeks.
Double wow.
I am so happy for you all!
We only said it *looked* like an enormous langer. Just an observation!
Haha, chocolate covered Doritos. Niall laughed at me for walking out of the supermarket with crisps in one hand and a Cadbury's Caramel in the other when I was pregnant because it was the first time he'd seen me acting like a stereotype :)
So good together though, pregnant or not.
She hasn't demanded a taco salad at two a.m. yet? Lucky you.
It's the BABY who wants these things. Not your wife. The BABY.
That's not an enlarged appendage, it's a packet of Chocolate covered Doritos - herself isn't imagining things!!
I've heard of chocolate-covered mini-pretzels - a possible substitute?
And I assume the colour you have not heard of cannot be named in case it hints at his or her gender or not gender.
Yeah, chocolate covered Doritos sounds nasty even to me.
I second Mwa. But I'll say you have a weird sense of everything, tho.
Yeah, I figured that was a leg or something because if that was his penis, he would be a record-breaker already!
And chocolate covered Doritos would be soooo easy to make! You should give it a shot. Just for ET!
Oddly, I'd give chocolate covered doritos a go. In all likelihood, it will be a very bad idea, but you never know.
Awe Xbox... he/she looks JUST like you! :)
I hope you went out and bought chocolate and Doritos and made her this concoction. It would have mede for great video to watch her devour it.
river it is just the right size and just in the right spot, but alas, it is NOT A PENNIS....i was mistaken ...nappy told you to tell me this...he is paying me much mula to say this...doesen't want to get everybody excited about his entiltlement, but just bewtween us two, he told me the truth in conficentality, but notA PENNIS
We just got our ultrasound yesterday. As of now, our kid is just a little blob. I like to think of that as my kid growing "penis first"
Really, X....you dont honestly think any of us actually thought that was a PENIS do you?!
Come on now...
mmmmmm chocolate covered doritos *drool*
If they don't exist, then they should.
Also; I would be seriously worried if that appendabe were a penis.
Chocolate covered Doritos don't exist.
But they should.
I think you ought to, for the sake of your beautiful grump, make those Doritos for her. I'm not even pregnant and they sound good. You'd be amazed what a little dark chocolate could pair with.
Also, it would appear someone has done it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8328294@N03/2945798772/
*shudder* chocolate covered Doritos.
And don't think I can't tell that you made that whole story up just so you could post another pic of that beautiful little baby. :)
Chocolate and doritos sounds so gross to me but then again the only things I wanted to eat were orange popsicles, pickles and feta cheese....together! So yummy, and it actually helped to curb my all-the-time-pregnancy sickness!
I still swear it's a girl and those look like some ass-kicking legs she's got going on! Maybe she'll be a "footballer" (soccer for us Americans)!
Who left a KFC drumstick in there?
I had to log back on and just tell you that I can't get the idea of chocolate covered Doritos out of my mind since I read this blog!
They sound so fabulous!
You need one of those 4D ultrasounds so you can put this speculation to rest.
We were lucky our kids 'cooperated' during their ultrasounds, but I know many parents whose kids kept the good hidden. See? The belligerence is already starting.
I knew it was a leg! You know if you have a rough idea what you are looking for you can see what gender the baby is before they tell you. I never found out but it's easy to see a girl's bits, because for one, there is a lack of penis. lol. People asked me if I could see anything and I would tell them that it was either a girl, or a boy who is going to have a very hard life!
Oh YUM...salt (dorito) and sweet (chocolate)...what can possibly be bad about that??? And we have lousy chocolate in the States...at least you can get hooked up with real quality Belgian chocolate...a must make to make ET do a little happy dance!

@Tanya - indeed!
@hotmamamia - swiss all the way for me.
What a cutie!!!! So exciting, eh? Loved all the u/s peeks.
You don't have a penis as thick as your arm? That's disappointing.
"Twig and berries" are the only way to tell for sure. That's the terminology used by someone around here when we saw the first u/s:
"That's my boy!".
I have a similar photo here. Amazing how a half-Asian baby can look identical to an Irish wee one, given the right circumstances :).
Exciting times, my friend.
WHOA--that is one beautiful leg/foot/appendage.
Long after my pregnancies ended, my mother-in-law brought me a tin of chocolate covered potato chips. The thought made me ill... until the wee hours one PMS night, when I NEEDED CHOCOLATE and that was all there was. They were surprisingly tasty. I ate every last one.
*wipes sweat from brow* I just spent the last I-don't-know-how-long reading every post from June to present. Glad to hear things FINALLY worked out in yours and ET's favor. Looking forward to reading about the rest of this pregnancy, and really looking forward to reading about your take on fatherhood.
@nola - Very! very much so.
@Missives From Suburbia - at risl of ridicule I shan't answer that.
@Karen MEG - Thats not even our kid, I googled it ;-)
@Hyphen Mama - sounds simply vile.
@Joe @ IrrationalDad - 52 minutes ;-) and to be honest, all the decent stuff was long before that ;-)
Welcome, and cheers.
Um, yuck on the chocolate covered dorito front. In fact, it made me shudder a bit!
Yay for 21 weeks though!! Well done both of you.
If you have a boy he'll be born with an inate knowledge of how to put together flat pack furniture. Or so he'll think.
Thanks for clearing that up. I was beginning to think you had superhuman genes.
the food cravings part of pregnancy can be a real adventure. be prepared for late night excursions to find grilled hotdogs on a stick (the ones in the freezer will never do), or to pack her a breakfast/lunch/dinner of sisig (chopped pig's head), with sisig sandwiches for tea.
