So today is the big day!? Gender Ultrasound Day!? I have many thoughts buzzing around my head this morning.? And since this is my blog, I am going to share them with all of you.? Are you ready?? Here’s comes another unordered list!? I’ve only had three in the last five days, after all. :dry

I’m a little nervous.? I know there’s a beating heart in there (at least, there was as of yesterday afternoon when I last checked).? But I guess I’m nervous about something else being wrong?? I’m sure that’s pretty natural.? But I feel like I’m really holding my breath that everything looks peachy-keen.? And since this is the first time I’ve ever gotten an ultrasound that wasn’t at a doctor’s office, they wouldn’t tell me anyhow and I don’t know if that would make me feel any better.
Then there’s a little part of me that’s nervous they won’t even want to look for gender.? In which case I may have to kill them.
What if we have another shy one?? Jackson was horribly shy and wouldn’t let us have a peek until near 28 weeks.? Thankfully, I had plenty of ultrasounds back then, unlike now.? I’m really hoping for cooperative, open legs here.
I still truly don’t care what “flavor” we end up. However, I probably would be a little nervous if it were a boy.? Not because I wouldn’t love a boy.? But because it would be a similarity to my pregnancy with Jackson.? And I’ve done a little research and it’s common for women to be headshy of similar pregnancies after a stillbrith or miscarriage.? I just don’t want one more thing to worry about, you know?
I have no idea…no vibe, no precognition.? I’ve had a lot of people tell me they think girl, but I’ve had people tell me they think boy as well.? I think this will truly be up in the air until we know, once and for all.? I can only hope for a clear answer.? And if we don’t get one?? Won’t be the end of the world.? We can go to one of those 3D places and pay to get a gender ultrasound done, or see if the OB will take pity and take a peek on the office u/s machine.? Barring all that, we’ll have to wait.? Dear God, the mere thought makes me break out into a cold sweat.

I will try to post an update as soon as I get home.? I’m not sure when that’ll be, since H starts back at school today and I’m not entirely sure how long the appontment will take.? It’ll probably be after 3:30pm my time (Pacific) for sure.? Fingers crossed!
