Where have the last 18 weeks gone? In seven short days (long with anticipation) we will hopefully find out the gender of our baby. It seems like it was just last week that we were planning to have a baby, and here we are almost 5 months later already. Where does all that time go?

At the last appointment, the doctor said that the baby’s heartbeat sounded strong and great. She also said that for our next appointment we will be able to see what sex the baby is, that is as long as the baby cooperates. We also have to pick a new doctor because our current doctor is also having a baby and is going to be taking a year off starting in June. So since our baby is not going to make its grand entrance until October, we have to choose one of the other doctors in the building to be the delivering doctor. Oh well, the rest of the doctors in the practice seem really nice so it will not be too big of a deal.

I guess I just can’t believe that in 7 short days we will find out whether we will be adding a handsome son or a beautiful daughter to our small family. Exciting times lie ahead thats for sure.
