Yesterday was supposed to be the Big Day, Gary!

Was I excited?  I couldn't tell all day.
Was I nervous?  YES.
Why?  I don't really know.

Yesterday, Austin and I were supposed to find out what we were having.  As expected, this child was too stubborn to move into an position that would afford us a peek at what was between the legs, or even at who the kid might look like.  That's right, NO profile picture either.  I was given a CD with pictures that the technician took "for me."  When I opened it: pictures of body parts...while it is good to know that they are all there and working, they aren't exactly the "cute" photos we were expecting.  I'll give you this one though:

That was the "cutest" picture we got of the baby yesterday.  

I was pretty mad...yes at this baby haha.  

The technician said, "It's probably a boy," but she was just basing this opinion on the fact that she couldn't find any "girl parts", but the kid wouldn't open its legs and she never clearly pointed out and "boy parts" either.  She followed her statement up with a, "I wouldn't bet my paycheck on that, though."  

So basically, we are still just as clueless as before we went into the ultrasound.  

A nice thing about the visit was that I saw the baby hit me, and I felt it, which told me for sure that I know the baby has been moving for a couple weeks now.  And now that the appointment is over, the baby won't stop moving.  Of course.  I was also so mad at the baby afterwards that I couldn't stop peeing, and Austin said it was probably the baby pushing hard on my bladder for being mad at it :)  Seems legit.  Just now, as I looked at the pictures again and those angered emotions rose again, the baby started moving all around as if warning me to check myself before I wreck myself.  Oi... :)  

Well, faithful readers, that's the latest.  Because of the anticlimactic visit yesterday, I am spent on excitement and nervousness about finding out what we are having.  I could go either way: knowing, or not knowing.  I don't really mind much at this point.  We started talking about neutral colors and what we CAN actually buy at this point.  I'm glad we haven't lost our optimism :)  

We at least got off early enough to enjoy the sun, and stuff our bellies with yummy Thai food.  Optimism is great :)  

Cheers, folks!
