I can't wait!

We were supposed to have our ultrasound done today but they called us and said they had scheduled the dr triple booked for the next 3 weeks! (someone should be fired!) Anyway, they wanted to do it on Mar 29 but I told them I couldn't wait any more so they gave us an appt with a different dr for Mar 19. I don't think I can wait over the weekend . . . I mean, I know I have to but it's been eating at me for 5 months now and I desperately want to know what this little munchkin is. We didn't find out with Gennie and that was unbearable . . . I have no idea how we did that. And it really doesn't matter to us who the dr is that does the ultrasound . . . we are seeing a midwife/np for everything but the actual c-section . . . so it doesn't really matter who we get. By the time I'm ready to deliver I'll be happy to see anyone with a scalpel and a spinal block needle.

Whether it's a boy or girl, we've decided to do the decor in Noah's ark animals. I found this fleece fabric at WallyWorld and couldn't pass it up. It's supposed to be jungle animals but it's just so cute! I had seen it months ago before we got pregnant and loved it then . . . but once we found out about this little one I went back and the fleece was gone . . . thank you, Walmart . . . then when it was finally there again I bought a huge piece. I made this blanket (in the picture) and two receiving-blanket-sized ones out of it. I put the edging on the big piece and of course ran out so I had to get more. Gennie has been so excited about this baby . . . everyday she comes up with something else that she wants to "share" with the baby. Yesterday she was wanting to give it her old sandals that don't fit anymore. I told her that if it's a boy it will have to get boy sandals when it's big enough. A little later she came up to me and said she wanted a sister. I asked why and she said, "Because boys can't wear my fun sandals!"
