Update on Amy's belly - it's pretty clear if you compare the two pics that her belly is, in fact, growing! If I put my hand on her belly and push slightly, it resists - the best thing I've read in all of the books we have is that it's like a balloon is slowly inflating inside of her. Amy feels the baby every now and then, but I can't feel it yet - I can't wait for the first time it kicks hard enough for me to feel it too! Right now Amy can't tell if it's really the baby, or gas bubbles - perhaps it's gas bubbles FROM the baby. :)
On Tuesday we go to the doctor for our last ultrasound, and find out whether we're having a boy or a girl! Amy took an old wives' tale quiz on the web yesterday, and there's a 70% chance according to a collection of tests like the Drano method that we're having a girl. The most statistically significant test to date? Amy feels like she's having a girl, and we read somewhere that the mother-to-be is right 75% of the time. To combat the ever-growing sentiment for a girl, I've made it my mission to watch every NBA playoff game the last 6 weeks - I hear if a team from west of the Mississippi wins 4-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals over a team with black uniforms and at least two guys named Spud, you're definitely having a boy.
We're both ready for a boy or a girl, we just want to know! Stay healthy baby, we'll "see" you on Tuesday. :)
Love,
