When I found out that I was pregnant, after I got over the shock, I felt excited and thought that this surely must be our missing daughter. Chancho told me the same and we thought, "Okay, well, fine, I thought we'd adopt her, but I guess she's coming this way. I felt comforted to know that she was coming and that I'd no longer have to have that lingering question in the back of my mind about whether or not the dream really meant anything or if our little girl was out there waiting for us some place.
However, during an ultrasound at 12 weeks Guy said, "Hm, that sure looks like a boy to me!" He usually won't say what he really thinks until he is sure. But he said he was about 75% sure. I just laughed. I was a little mad because I'd already bought these super cute, pink w/ fur boots. So, I took them back and shook my head at how I have absolutely no motherly intuition when it comes to my unborn. But I felt fine. We weren't planning on a baby, but it was obviously meant to be and if it was meant to be a boy...well, then that was fine.
At 14 weeks I went in for another ultrasound. This time the baby was looking "more girl". I rolled my eyes a bit. Its my fault. I am the one who always insists on these early ultrasounds, just so eager and itching to have a confirmation on who it is I'm carrying.
Today (15 weeks), the baby looked great. All is well. But baby was very modest. At first baby kept putting hands in front of private parts. Its a very cute hand. I could make out each finger. Guy shook my belly a bit, trying to get baby to move. But baby only moved into a position so that the chord went right down and through the legs. Guy was patient. Baby is big enough now to be able to tell for sure. But nothing doing. We waited. We shook me belly some more. But finally had to give up. We'll have to wait a bit longer to find out who will be joining our family.

My how things have changed since I last graced your blog. I have been a real slacker on keeping up lately due to my dinosaur of a computer:) I can't believe you moved! And are having another baby!! Two of the most exciting and scary things you can do, and you're doing them all at once!! Congratulations and best of luck on your new adventure.
p.s. My son Kaden just came into the room, saw your picture on your sidebar, and said "Mom,there's you!" I must be darn cute! :)
I hope it is a boy because I think you should adopt another, anyway! It would be nice for Loumy to have a matching sibling who will understand his life from a similar perspective. I've met adopted kids over the years who've grown up matched and unmatched and matched for some reason really seems to be better. Of course whatever you have and do will be wonderful - a loving family is the most important thing, anyway! I wish you all good things in this coming year of changes...!
So exciting! Maybe you won't know until baby is born! I tried a few times to wait and let it be a surprise but always ended up giving in.
that cracks me up, miss/mr modest baby!! :) we had our ultrasound and i chose not to find out (we only get one out here), so it will just be a surprise (sort of like our pregnancy - like yours too, it sounds :) ) ... i'll be anxious to hear, though, when you do find out, if it's going to be your little girl!
