If you've been under a rock...

So as you already know Allison and I are pregnant. She is approx. 10 days ahead of me in gestation but because I am a lucky NW Ohioan who can't have VBAC's I'll probably deliver before her depending on the doctor's surgical rotation.

That being said she had her ultrasound last week and found out she is having a boy. I on the other hand am having mine tonight at 6:30 and am prepared to not know a gosh darn #@#$@#$ thing! My doctors have scheduled my dating ultrasound so early! I'm only 16.5 weeks along and they don't usually date until weeks 18-20 and this is after I pushed it for three weeks. So I'm sitting her with my fingers crossed that we'll know since I'm only given 1 ultrasound by my insurance.

This is it until the end of July and this writer has got to start working on names! Especially since this my last chance to create the perfect name. I've never been shy about the fact that I've never loved my kids' names. At least aspects of them were not my first choice. And I kind of feel that a child's name is a gift, a blessing if you will, from mom (and dad too, I suppose, blech). Wish me luck that this widget is floatin' free and uninhibited!!!!

Good luck! Hopefully you can see it. If not, will they do a gender check only? When I was up in East Lansing they offered an opportunity to do a "gender only" ultrasound for $50 cash only. They don't do any measurements, just check for parts. It's like a 10 minute window. You may want to ask if you don't see it tonight.

You better post the sex if possible!!

Ok I have to add something. I was re-reading your post after my comment and thought about the fact that you are ten days behind me. I know when I got pregnant. I appreciate the "Happy Birthday" gesture you two... I guess that's what I get for being due right around your birthday, eh?

I am so excited for you guys, and I want to hear all about names when you start to play that field. :)
