waiting, waiting, waiting

So, after weeks of waiting, I thought we were going to find out for sure if we are having a boy or a girl. Now, I know that it's a girl. Joy, our nurse practitioner, has guessed a girl. Dr. Counts predicted a girl based on a high heart rate and the extraordinarily horrible morning sickness. OK, I admit, the morning sickness may not have been "extraordinarily horrible," but it is nice to brush my teeth without dry heaving. Back to having a girl....

I just know. I realize that sounds silly, but I just know it's a girl. And...George did his 100% accurate (at least for his own children and grandchildren) needle test and it said "girl."

Wednesday was the big day. Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided it was not the right day and sent a warming trend resulting in ice roads to Southcentral Alaska. Josh decided that it was not reasonable to risk driving to town on glare ice which was probably the best choice.

So, we rescheduled for Tuesday - and the receptionist at Alaska Family Sonogram assured me that 19 weeks is a much better time to determine the sex.

Stay tuned - we'll find out in three days - boy or girl! Although...I know it's a girl.
