24 weeks... summer beginning

    Well, here we are in the last couple of weeks from the third trimester and according to many comments and looks I am just starting to show. Along with gazes from complete strangers examining the shape of my being, the warm weather seems to have arrived. The confidence that my tummy will inevitably get bigger before baby arrives as well as that the outdoors will get warmer is not a comforting thought. But leaves me with much respect for the bearers of summer babies (honestly the entire experience is giving me more respect for mothers everywhere regardless of season of birth).
    A few weeks ago we had the privilege of finding out the gender of our super baby. We took the opportunity. Many people are old fashioned in this sense and they wish to keep the gender a surprise. Well, we salute those people. I figured it will be enough of a surprise the day I get to meet a person that comes out of me (the idea of this just isn't getting dull or boring somehow). So we suggest that any of our readers out there who do not wish to know the gender and are one of these "old fashioned" types stop reading immediately. Because we are about to reveal the gender to you, LIVE on our blog.

Through ultrasound, we have come to discover that our super baby is...


















a girl!


Yes, that is right we have a little girl on the way, and we are so excited about this. I am thinking about the wonderful little hats and dresses and pairs of rubber boots she will be privy to and the way we will raise her to dislike "princess" clad articles of clothing and barbie dolls. No, if she likes Barbie dolls she will be allowed to take that path in her life. But if she happens to shoot them with her  G.I. Joe afterward to celebrate the end of that stage in her life it will bring tears of pride to our eyes.
