Life, not sex, is what's exciting about it all

We had an uneventful appointment today in our biweekly ultrasound and doctor's visit. That's the best kind! Cocoa is 1 lb 4.9 oz. and was sleeping through most of the photo session. All organs, bones, and other important things are right on schedule, all measuring at 22 or 23 weeks.

Cocoa is also officially on record for sex. They obviously need to document it for ultrasound purposes to check those 'special' places. Our doctors, nurse practitioner, and head nurse will not know the sex until we do but it sure has been a source of discussion with many people.

Selfishly, it will be one of my proudest moments to walk into the waiting room and announce, "IT’S A…!" I'm thankful that Tiffany also finds it as an extra source of energy through the 9 months. We'll know soon enough and we'll just be thankful and enthusiastic for our new gift regardless of gender.

But you know the saying, right? If you have a boy, you have to worry about one penis. If you have a girl, you have to worry about every penis in town. Who needs another 5 months to worry about all of those penises around town?

I am totally with you on the penis analogy. I had a son first, I thought AWESOME this is great. Then a daughter. Again, this is AWESOME, now I have one of each....... Then I got pregnant one more time, WE PRAYED FOR A BOY, hahahaha.

Really great move to not worry about the "extra" penises for another 5 months. Good, good thinking!!! There will be enough worrying later on right?

We didn't find out with our daughter and then one day the nurse said "oh you are having a girl this time?" We followed with "ummm we weren't finding out" She quickly said....I meant "are you having a girl this time?" Shockingly enough we had a girl! I think you will have a girl too.

With biweekly visits, we have to remind everyone each time we are in. Hopefully we can remember and avoid your moment Robin!

Tiffany thinks little kids have some way of knowing. We've tried all of the 'tests' in the past and even the rock solid Chinese calendar has faulted us. But this time, we have now had two independent kids refer to the baby as 'she'. Only time will tell...
