November 2008


Friday we went in to get the one ultrasound test that we planned to have this pregnancy. One thing that both of us agreed on was that we did NOT want to know the gender of this child. Instead we were focused on a healthy heart and normal development. Gender is not that important to either of us.

So, the results are that there is indeed just one child growing in Sarah’s womb this time. Talk about a relief! We haven’t heard from the radiologist yet, but the preliminary results seem to be right on track, and the ultrasound tech said that based on the current size we are most likely looking at a March 31st birthdate. Anything after March 30th is fine with us since the 30th will be my final day in class in the third class in a string of 3 classes. Of course, the baby will come when it is ready, but we are having talks with it, advising it that it can’t come before the 31st.

Now then, for those who just have to know the gender, this data is known, just not by Sarah or myself, and we prefer to keep it that way. If you really find that you need to know please contact Sarah’s folks, and if you ask real nicely they might tell you.
