My teacher in-service was great.  I’m so inspired to eat healthier…and to eat more fiber!  I’m not sure if I mentioned this before, but my OB looked at the pictures of the ultra-sound visit and because of the baby’s size, she thinks I’m only at 20 weeks now, rather than 22 weeks which was the original dating.  There is a possibility that the baby is just smaller too.  Kerri read that Asian women tend to have smaller babies, regardless of the husband’s size.  So anyway, my due date has officially been changed in the system, from February 24th to March 4th, 2006.  Just about everything else is going well.  Okay, I need to get going.  Hope all of you are doing well!     

That was so much fun!  Okay, okay, we’ll have to make this thing public before our house gets TPed and we start getting hate mail.  We’re having a BOY!!  I know many of you wanted a girl…but I hope you still love the baby just as same.  🙂  Israel is very happy because as most of you know, he preferred a boy.  Now I will be the only female living with 6 males (Bentley (puppy), Aroe & Chance (kitties), Nehemiah, aka: Nemo (fish), Papa Israel, and baby)!!  I’m so under-represented!    That’s okay, though.  I guess God knew I needed another male in my life.  Well, I hope all of you are doing well.  Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers!!  Until next time… 

So, we went to the Briarwood UM Radiology Building on Monday 2pm for our ultra-sound.  For the pictures to turn out, the mom’s bladder needs to be full, so I had to drink a bunch of water an hour before our appointment, and not pee until afterwards!  Anyhow, we went and we had the most calm tech do our ultra-sound.  She was so unenthusiastic it was hilarious.  (Ladies, just to warn you, the gel that they use on your tummy is like super-hot!)  I thought I was being burned for a second when the doppler with the gross gel stuff touched my tummy.  So, we saw the baby right away and it was so funny because Israel kept on asking a bunch of questions.  “Is that the baby?”  “Is the baby moving now?”  “Can you tell if it’s a boy or a girl?”  “Will it move into the right position?”  “Is that the baby’s hand?”  “Is the baby sucking its thumb?”  And then he started making comments.  “Man, it has a nice shaped head!”  “It’s moving around a lot!”  “Whoa, look at its spine!”  And the tech lady would just answer him with like one word answers.  HAHAHA.  Anyhow, finally she got to the “lower area” and she told us the gender of the baby!  Are you ready for this??  She told us that it’s a     !!!!!!!   Isn’t that crazy?  It was so weird to find out, finally, what it was!  Well, I need to get going.  Keep us in prayer!  We love you all…
