Week 18 . . . Anticipation

So, I'm officially in my 19th week, but wanted to give everyone an update.

This past week has been filled with anticipation! We have our big (and probably only) sonogram tomorrow at 11:00 AM (Tuesday, May 12th).

Since the beginning of the pregnancy, I had a gut feeling this one's another girl. But, the last few weeks I've been having my doubts. Bailey is absolutely convinced that it's a baby sister. She won't even consider the possibility that it is a boy. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that we call Holmes (our dog) her brother. She probably has a difficult time imagining mommy growing a "Holmes" in her belly:) Joey, on the other hand, thinks it's a boy. Believe it or not, he is quite the shopper, and I think he just wants to shop for something different for a change - boy stuff! So, would you bet on a mommy and 2-year-old's intuition or daddy's? Only time will tell . . . in less than 24 hours we will know if the baby decides to cooperate and not be shy. Joey says we will be making an appointment at Baby Waves for another sonogram if we don't find out. We are both very anxious to know so we can decorate the nursery, pick out names, etc.

We had a great mother's day. Went to church and watched two of our favorite babies being dedicated. Then, we had my parents over for a brunch. In the evening, we went to dinner and then went to see Joey's family for a while. It was very relaxing.

Bailey got me another year of zoo membership for mother's day. Joey learned a tough lesson with this one . . . never take a 2-year-old to the zoo if you aren't going inside!!!!!!! They went to buy the membership at the office on Saturday morning and Bailey threw a fit when she realized that she didn't get to go see the penguins and gorillas. I guess she kept saying "I NEED the zoo daddy, I NEED it." She also went to Kay Wiggins and made me a bracelet. She picked out all of the beads herself. The ladies that worked there didn't quite know what to think, but said it turned out much better than they thought it would. It's very colorful!!!!

Hope everyone has a great week. I'll try to post tomorrow after the sonogram and let everyone know the results.
