Gender prediction: We found out that my feelings were right!!  It’s a boy (unofficially until the gender ultrasound in 4 weeks.  But, I would say the ultrasound pic is pretty much a slam dunk).  We told a few family members, but won’t officially announce until we confirm the news.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not really.  I just have to make sure my stomach doesn’t get empty.

Labor Signs:  Nope

Symptoms:  Stomach is starting to pop

Belly Button in or out?  In, but looking weird by bedtime

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!!

Looking forward to:  Planning!  Now that we “know” it’s a boy, I can look for names and nursery ideas!!! Super excited! :)  Also, I can’t wait to feel some real movement!

We told the gender news to Lisa and DJ the evening after the ultrasound, she refused to wait!!  My family had to wait until the day after because my parents were out of town.  We revealed to them with fortune cookies, after a big Chinese food dinner.
