16 Week Update

This pregnancy is really flying by!  I had my 16 week checkup this week and everything is going very well.  My OB came in to the exam room with the doppler and listened to the baby's heartbeat for a good amount of time.  Then he said "boy...dark hair...right handed!"  I asked him if this was his official prediction and he laughed and said "Oh those are just a bunch of old wives tales, they don't mean a thing."  So of course that evening I told the kids what the doctor had said and Brady (who has decided he likes being the only boy in the family and wants another sister) said "MAAAANNNN, when I wanted a boy I got a girl.  Now that I want a girl it's going to be a boy!"  I tried to explain to him that the doctor was just being silly and he had no idea if it was a boy or a girl.  But Brady is convinced that since the doctor predicted it to be a boy, then it must be.  We scheduled the BIG ultrasound for January 31.  But don't get your hopes up because we are not going to find out the gender.  We are however, going to check the kids out of school early that day so they can go with us.  I'm trying to post a gender poll on my side bar, if I have any readers left after my long hiatus, feel free to vote.  The big reveal will be sometime in June! :)

I voted for a boy, because I like symetry (girl boy girl boy). However, I am feeling like you are going to have a girl, but I am wrong EVERY time (except for Joshua- I thought he was a boy the whole time). So Baby J is probably going to be a girl! Unless the forces of nature know that I don't really think it's a boy and that I am tricking... man, I am so confused. What were we talking about??? ;)

Brady and I had a very informative talk at lunch on Sunday about this very subject. He asked to sit with me, and your appointment was how he started off the conversation. I asked how he was feeling about all of this, and his reply was "crazy". He did think it would be good for Jonathan, because then he could be promoted to the next Bubba level!

I love that Brady wants Jonathan to be promoted! That is hilarious!
