more waiting

my friend, shannon, mentioned that when you are pregnant, each week goes by so slowly. SO TRUE. each week, i check the pregnancy calendar to see what developments baby has made, and check to see how long until such and such happens. i look online at different people's ultrasounds and compare them. i am just amazed at the whole process. what little miracles babies are. 🙂 just lots of waiting, though. so, you can tell from my unenthusiastic title post that we weren't able to find out the sex. we saw the bum shot, and something in between the bum. the doctor said that it would appear to be a boy BUT it can still be a girl. i won't go into details. 🙂 the good news is that she is going to give me another ultrasound in four weeks, and by then, the 'part' should be adequately developed. my gut is telling me that it's a boy. we shall see. what else? today is the first time a stranger asked me if i was pregnant. i dunno. i find that kinda exciting. 🙂 i think this will be our last baby. so i am trying to truly enjoy this pregnancy, the little details, because after baby comes and years go by, you so quickly forget. i know this because my girl is ten. and it seems forever ago when i was naively asking the nurses how to change her diaper. so for now, i wait. as patiently as i can, yet grateful as ever.
