It's A Girl

We have already found out the gender of the little one and it is a Girl.  We no longer have to refer to it in the Unisex Term of "It".  I still have a few friends that are skeptical about early gender diagnosis and have told me they will still refer to it as "the Bean" for another couple of weeks, which I think is fine and kinda funny.

My feeling all along is that it was a girl, but I don't really know if that was just hopeful thinking or if I could actually sense what it was.  Some of the old wives tails I have heard so far is that Boys will make you Sick, Girls will just make you nauseous (something that may become deeper later on in years ;))  Another one I heard is that Boys will add to your beauty during pregnancy and girls will drain your color.  Keep your comments on this one to yourself, but I think my color has been pretty good lately.

When we were at the appointment on Friday where we had the ultrasound, she asked if we wanted to know and we both said Yes, almost at the same time.  She then pointed to the lack of anatomy on the profile of the body.  Clark requested more proof, and the tech found a perfect shot from the top down between the legs to show there was no additional view needed.

Clark has been a good sport.  I know that he wanted a Boy and I have already told him we have a 50/50 shot next time and that the ball is in his court.  He said we could give it one more try for a Boy but he wasn't wanting to continue to try until he got one, he can hire out manual labor for cheaper than putting 3rd child through college.

I have been feeling pretty well physically the past couple of weeks.  I am more tired in the evenings now, which is a shame since we have finally began to get some nice weather.  We are going to go watch Clark play Softball tonight.  His team name is Big Swinging Richards, which is abbreviated to BSR as to not offend people further if they know the nickname of a Richard.  Maybe I can get some action pics to post.  Softball will always be a little sentimental to me since that is how we met.  Which if funny since my parents met playing Volleyball.  I guess we are just an athletic family!

Hope this finds you all well!  Make sure to comment!
