It's a....

Boy! That's right. We went to my appointment today and within seconds the sono. tech said "o.k. I know what it is! Do you want to know?"

Update

Sydney is into the separation anxiety phase now and it makes me sad to leave her anywhere. I guess it doesn't help that I am more emotional these days too. Adam is out of town and I am counting down the hours until he gets back from Atlanta. Next week we find out whether we are having a boy or girl. I will just be 17 weeks. I have a friend that is also expecting and she finds out that day too. There seems to be a whole group of people I know having babies this August and September. I remember when everyone was getting married at the same time and now they are all having babies.

The second baby is different than the first. You obsess over making lists of things you need with your first, but with a second baby you have everything you need and feel more prepared to handle things like changing diapers and when to feed them. Sydney was such a good newborn. This is making me expect a harder time of it with the next. Surely you can't have two good babies. Maybe there is some off chance that she was good as a result of the way that Adam and I are at home. I have friends that seems frazzled all the time and their kids seem that way too. I am sure it has something to do with it.

Sydney is such a little girl. When Adam pretends like he is chasing her, she runs from him, squeals, and buries her head in the couch. Her favorite thing is to pretend to be talking on the phone. She has a play cell phone and she rides in the car with it up to her ear. I don't usually talk in the car so I don't think she learned it from me. So she chatters and chatters, saying nothing in particular. I wish she would say more words. She sounds like she is saying something very important.
