It's a . . .

BABY!

I decided that it would be fun to wait until we found out the gender of the baby before blogging about being pregnant. Although, it seems like I have been pregnant forever! And, it's only been 18 weeks. Hopefully the next 22 weeks go by faster.

Anyway...So, today I had an ultrasound and we found out the gender. (The picture is actually from my 12 week ultrasound, but works.)

Here's how some of the ultrasound went today:

Dr: Looks like it's a girl.

I think: Are you really sure? I couldn't even tell he was looking between the legs.

10 minutes go by.

Dr: Wait a minute. It's a boy.

The doctor shows us the little boy part. Kate bursts into tears. Jack just wants to go play basketball.

So, it's a boy! I kind of thought it was a boy, but I wasn't counting on it actually being one since the majority of the babies that are born here are girls. I don't know if it's the altitude or what... Kate's okay with it being a baby brother now. She told us at dinner that she would take care of the baby if I had to go anywhere. And, when we were talking about her crying during the ultrasound she said, "Sometimes it's just hard for four-year-olds."


On an non-baby-related note, here's something funny that Kate said today that I wanted to write down. We were driving past the high school and I pointed out a bunch of kids waiting for the county bus. Kate said, "Mom, those kids shouldn't just stand there. They should play duck-duck-goose or something."
