Bell Pepper Babe

With all of the excitement surrounding Goo’s second birthday, I’ve been slacking in Goo #2 updates. Goo #2 is doing really well – he or she is about the length of a bell pepper these days ….

I am starting to feel the baby move now, which is really fun, and thankfully, the 24/7 nausea seems to have lightened up quite a bit. I’m down to one 4mg pill in the morning, down from 8mg every 6 hours (and still getting sick in between). All of our checkups have been perfect (*knocking very loudly on wood*), and we see the Dr again on Friday for another. Unfortunately, since we do want to know the gender, the Dr. has decided it’s best to wait to do our “big” ultrasound until 22 weeks, darn him. I guess it’s easier for the techs to see when the baby is that much bigger …. So – 5 more weeks, and we’ll be able to start buying pink or (more) blue! At this point, we still don’t really have a gut feeling or a preference about what we’re having. Another boy would be fun for Goo, but a girl would be fun, too – since this is most definitely (sorry, grandmas) our last bio baby. We’re not ruling out the idea of adoption in the future, though – so either way, we’re really just hoping for a healthy babe. :)
