IT'S A........

BABY!!!

So it turns out we didn't go to the ultrasound appointment after all. Amy got really sick and we had to reschedule it. Sorry to keep you all in suspense for the entire weekend.

We're not scheduled to go back in for 2 more weeks. Apparently we have been unwittingly cast into the middle of a battle that is constantly being waged between the doctors and the ultrasound clinic regarding the correct time to send pregnant couples in for an ultrasound. We were at 17 1/2 weeks, which, according to our doctor, the pregnancy webpage we signed up for, and the 4 or 5 prego books the hospital hands out like candy, is far enough along to get a good reading. The ultrasound blokes disagree, and apparently they wish the doctors "wouldn't send them in so early". All of which is kind of funny in that they had no problem signing us up for the first appointment.

Ah, the baffling wasteland that is our health care system.

Anyways, we'll find out Feb. 8th and I'll post it then. Still think it's a dude.


PS- extra points for anyone who got that "It's a...baby!" reference. Mike Brady, I'm looking to you.
