This week in preggoland…

Believe it or not (I really almost can’t) I’m 23 weeks pregnant today. My ultrasound is scheduled for next Friday; over at my WEtv blog, I wrote about our mixed feelings about finding out the baby’s gender (mine…and the entire family’s! All the boys are convinced “it’s a girl”; I tell them not to hold their breath). Also this week–the dreaded maternity wardrobe.

I’m about to enjoy a weekend with just the husband…my mother-in-law is taking the boys for two days. It’s been a long long while since I’ve gotten any serious time to relax, and I can’t wait. You may not see much of me until I crawl out on the other side!

I just got my ultrasound where I found out the gender yesterday. Our #4 is a boy. That will bring us to three boys and one girl. I got to get a DVD copy of my ultrasound this time around, which made it easy to share online via YouTube. Cool stuff.

Seriously? 23 weeks already? How is that possible?

I’m rooting for a girl, but only because I want you to name her after me.

Oooh, time alone with the hubby. Envious. Hope you had a good time.

OK … just went to your WEtv blog about finding out the sex … tried to comment but I don’t think it took. For some reason, I’ve had a hard time leaving comments on your blogs there.

Anyway, I like that you’re honest about how you wanted a girl. I think secretly we want one sex over the other. At least at first. I always wanted a girl. I got a girl. By second child, I could honestly say it didn’t matter (and it my first was a boy, I would have loved that too). My second is a boy and I LOVE it too.

Are you going to let us all know the sex?

Thanks for letting me know, Kristina. I forwarded your comments on to the techy folk; hopefully they can fix the comment problems!

And of course I’m going to tell everyone the gender…just one more day now!

Tami, congrats on your baby BOY! how exciting. I can’t wait to know, one way or the other.

Congrats! I myself just found out that I am 20 weeks pregnant, and they are pretty sure it is a girl ;)
