Big day tomorrow!!!!

Tomorrow is The Ultrasound. i'm crazy excited!

Because i'm a planner, and also very impatient, we will be finding out the sex of our child. And yes, i will be announcing it ASAP on here.

Hopefully my beautiful ultrasound technician, Tanya, will be back from maternity leave so she can do ours. We've loved her since David's first ultrasound, and she did the two i had back in February. She's very sweet and i love her.

No matter what gender child it is, i love him/her already. But i have hopes, like most mommas secretly do. Let's just really hope that it is not shy. At all.

i keep having nightmares that the baby is shy and doesn't flip over, and i a. either end up having a girl and have to buy all her clothes retail because i will have skipped garage saling or b. have a boy and have bought all girl stuff. i also have the dream where the U/S is wrong, and it ends up being a boy, after months of expecting a girl. This actually happens in real life. It will not happen to me. If i say it enough, maybe i'll believe it.

i do plan on asking for a late ultrasound, like 36 weeks, so they can see how big the baby is. David ended up being way bigger than even the Dr. expected and that was a very slow healing process. So if i get a later ultrasound, the gender will be even more unmistakable.

Update on yesterday: David is fine. He's just cranky. Maybe he's in a growth spurt, even though he hasn't been very hungry. Apparently in the warmer weather, appetite drops off some. i'm glad he doesn't have an ear infection, but it was frustrating going to the Dr. and hearing "Not sure why he's changed so much-let us know if he has any other symptoms." Whatev.

Also, thank you all SO much for being so encouraging in my depressing post yesterday! It was really great hearing from all of you. It gave me some wonderful ideas, one of which i've already instated: i bought a dry-erase calendar, and Kris wrote down as much schedule as he's got available. i've already consulted the calendar 4 times since yesterday, so it's definitely very useful. Anyway, it's great knowing all of you and knowing you all care enough to help me out. It means a LOT to me.

It's crazy to think i'm halfway through this pregnancy. It seemed really slow until about 7 weeks, and then WHOA it got faster and faster. i think i'm not quite as focused on the pregnancy this time around and have a lot more going on, so it's going faster. We'll see how i feel in 16 weeks, though, right?

Have a happy night!
