Week 16 - Making Plans

Two weeks until the Bat Mitzvah. My friend is coming in town to help me. So I think I'll try to schedule the routine ultrasound for when she is here.

As luck would have it I get it scheduled for an hour after her flight arrived. My doctor likes to do this scan between 16-18 weeks. I had 18-20 weeks in my mind. So I'll be 17w6d when I get it done.

Kevin doesn't want to know the gender. I sort of do and sort of don't Mainly because I have a strong preference this time around. I know I can keep the secret from him, but do I want to or do I want to be surprised. I also try to remember that they were really, really wrong about the girls in all of those ultrasounds. Two boys my foot! They are all girl...
