June news

Since my last ultrasound, I have had one doctor's appointment on June 6. All was well with me and the baby. Tony and I got to hear the heart beat for the first time. It was exciting yet kind of a let down compared to actually seeing the baby in May. We will have the long awaited 20 week ultrasound on July 6. Hopefully, the mystery of the gender will be solved.

At the last appointment, my weight had dropped another two pounds. So that's six pounds lost since finding out I was pregnant. The trend should reverse in the next month or so. My belly has started to grow. I will start posting pictures of the belly soon. I have officially retired my size 12 pants. So sad. I did make it to my brother's wedding without being to fat to fit into my bridesmaids dress.

My newest cravings include fried rice, french fries and ice cream. Like I said the weight has got to be coming soon, becuase I'm hungry all the time.

The gender mystery

Reasons I think this baby is a boy:

Tony's contribution to the production of this baby decided the gender way back in February, and Tony's family has a high ratio of boys to girls. Roughly one girl comes along for every three boys.
I have not thrown up at all. I have heard that girls make their Mama's suffer with morning sickness. Could by a myth though.
My brother is convinced this baby is a girl. I really prefer a world in which my brother is wrong.
My granny told me I should have a boy that looks just like Tony. (Hands off Granny, He's mine.)



Reasons I think this baby is a girl:

I feel rather "girly" lately. I wear lots of pink.
There are a lot more girls in my family. Even though I technically have nothing to do with the gender.
My brother is convinced he is getting a niece.
According to my new neighbor, the neighborhood we moved into has about 30 girls and 1 boy.


My final prediction is Boy.

What do you predict?

Hopefully the answer will be revealed on July 6th.
