I KNEW IT!!

I tried to download our newest ultrasound pictures, but they won't go. Instead, here is Will announcing to his office that I AM PREGNANT.
Today we had our first trimester screening, which just made me totally anxious until we heard the good news that all the numbers are low..still waiting for blood tests, but the ultrasound lady (that is not her official name) said everything looked good.
Our ultrasound lady gave her educated guess on the sex (let's hope she was educated well..she came from Argosy so who knows? Ahahahaha) and she said:
Girl!
She (not the ultra sound lady, the baby) even waved to us in one of the pictures. I am pretty sure that this baby is going to be very social and quite smart since she already knows enough to acknowledge her parents. Good thinking. Suck up right away.
Her mother also feels smart because I KNEW she was a girl the minute I felt like puking my guts out 5 weeks ago.."This is not a boy. I did not feel this way with Keegan." Add to that: the zits, the EXTREME moodiness, cravings for SUGAR and just general lack of energy, yup..this is a WHOLE different baby.
No I will not run out and start buying girl's clothes UNTIL we have the official word in January buuttttt..I might just look a little, you know browse around a bit. Get an idea.

You know I am thankful every day to be married to Will and I know I sound like a broken record, but really there is no one like him on earth. Sometimes it is like being married to a younger version of Robin Williams..well, minus the cocaine.
Take Today:
Genetic Counselor: So how are you feeling off of meds.
Me: Oh well, you know, it's okay not great, but I am toughing it out.
GC: And you have cats?
How did we go from my meds to our cats, but oh well.
Me: Yes.
GC: And Will is cleaning the cat box?
YES! YES! YES!
Will: Yes, I, uh, am on meds for that.
Nice. Really? Did you just say that out loud?
GC: Ahaha. (Polite laugh, but not really sure if he is serious)
So then we waited for like 40 minutes in this room with nothing but a book of baby names in front of us.
I mean maybe people come for their first trimester screenings and feel like picking out the baby's name right there in the waiting room..I don't know..it would explain some of the weird names going around, I guess.
Will: How about Chapman. We could call him Chap for short.
(Chap for SHORT??!! Can you IMAGINE??)
Me: NO. It reminds me of Gary Chapman, Amy Grant's ex-husband.
Will: What the-??
Will: How about Aubrey.
Me: No, that is Sarah's daughter's name and we are not naming our baby the same thing as my friend's baby.
Will: But I like-
Me: NO.
Will: How about Kareem?
Me: Oh good God!
Kareem Williams?? Just put a basketball in his hand...I mean COME ON.
And so we did not find any names we BOTH liked in the waiting room of the Maternal Fetal Medicine office.
I will say that ONE nice thing about being 37 and pregnant are all these "extra" ultrasounds. I am getting used to seeing the baby. I am going to recognize her immediately when she comes out. And of course she will probably be waving. You know, she's half-Wisconsinite..They wave at EVERYONE.
