Gender revealed!

Baby Sparks "cooperated" today at our 20-week ultrasound. We took the kids with us so that we could all see the baby on the monitor. It was fun to see the baby and surprising how much the ultrasound shots of the face resembled E.'s ultrasound pics. (Hopefully that doesn't mean that E.'s allergy, asthma, eczema, and eye problems will also be present!)

For all of you moms, isn't it interesting that they make you wait until the end of the ultrasound before they reveal the baby's gender? Granted, we aren't there to just find out if we are having a boy or a girl--we know that is just a perk of the visit--but wouldn't it be nice if they told us right away so that we didn't have to wait eagerly for 30 minutes? I could have stopped straining my eyes at every bottom shot and enjoyed seeing the baby's bottom! But at least the shots we got of the bottom were conclusive--we are having a girl!

Everyone was excited except for one little guy that was really hoping for a brother. He didn't exactly cry, but he wasn't jumping for joy either. Maybe a male turtle or fish would suffice. ;)

And due to popular demand (yes, all TWO of you!), here is my preggo profile pic. Unfortunately, those pants probably won't fit me in two weeks. A bummer; they sure are comfy. (And if anyone is concerned about how we are going to keep a baby alive when our plants in the background are practically dead, don't worry, I am repotting them tomorrow. Hopefully they bounce back--they are the only plants we have been able to keep alive since we have been married!)
