i am finally going to the doctor tomorrow!

once we got here, got my insurance figured out, and finally made the appointment, it was 4 weeks before anyone could get me in. soooooo, it's finally here, and we'll get to hear the heartbeat tomorrow! i'm also living in a fantasy world, where i've pretty much convinced myself that i will get an ultrasound tomorrow, too. seriously, i have previa. i haven't been seen in 2 months. this is my 1st appointment with this doctor. it could happen, right???

seeing as we found out that daniel was a boy at 14 weeks, and here i am sitting clueless with this baby at almost 17 weeks, we are getting antsy about finding out the sex (and yes, i know most people don't find out until closer to 20. but this is my fantasy world). so, i have resorted to old wives' tales.

i took a quiz online that had a bunch of the different "predictors" - are you a beach ball or a watermelon? do you crave sweet or sour? have you been sick? does your hair look better or worse than before? does your face look pregnant? anyway, this is what it gave me:

50% chance
of a boy
50% chance
of a girl

ok, no help there.......

so, i turned to the chinese gender chart. no chance of a 50-50 answer there. however, it was wrong for daniel (said he was a girl) and if i am off by so much as a day on my dates, it's wrong this time too. but the verdict? BOY!

anyway, my own intuition (and the fact that i feel basically the same as i did last time) all tell me that this is another boy. yeah, i felt a little worse for a bit longer than with daniel, but not enough to change my mind.

so, i guess we'll find out. if not tomorrow, then sometime within the next 4 weeks, yeah!!!
