Baby . . . .

BOY! So we are cooking a male. We are both super excited and nervous. I am soooooo happy that I will not have girls two years apart. And I am also happy that the pressure is now off. I mean, we would have been happy with all girls or all boys, but now whatever else we end up with we have one of each. It is really, really nice.

So all of a sudden I go from pregnancy misery to pregnancy hope. It is still uncomfortable and I am still SOO tired, but now I have a vision in mind for the future. It was super funny, the ultrasound tech was sweating she was working so hard to try to nail down our offspring. She would get the wand over the baby and just as she was ready to take the picture, the baby would move over to the other side of the uterus. It was almost unreal how much he was moving. We have to go again to see some final stuff, but everything we saw looks great. Technically, we did not see a penis, as the umbilical cord was between his legs and he was pretty uncooperative generally. But we did see scrotum, and we are hopeful that there is a penis and not some other random girl parts.

We are half-way to our goal- I am hoping for smooth sailing until then. But Anya was showing some serious potty interest so we picked up one, and now we are introducing that. She loves it and has taken to it really well. Pee in the POTTY! Never has anything so dumb made me so happy. So if we can, we will try to get her all tuned in by the time Kalev makes his appearance so we can move the cloth diapers over. Well that is the plan. Lets hope it goes well.
