Place your bets

I'll be 20 weeks pregnant tomorrow, meaning we're halfway there already! Of course, that assumes that we'll be going the full 40, and you know what happens when you assume. But we are optimistic--I'm feeling pretty well, baby is very active, and there's as yet no cause for concern.

Wednesday is the big sonogram, and we plan to find out whether we're having a boy or a girl. I'm very anxious about this, and I feel like I've been waiting forever. I know there are a lot of people who choose not to find out, but I am certainly not one of those people. I am a planner, I enjoy visualizing, I relish the chance to start thinking of this baby as a he or a she instead of an "it". That's just me.

I'd love everyone to make some boy/girl predictions, and I'll give you a few tidbits to help you guess. This pregnancy has been totally different than my one with Evan, if that means anything to anyone. I've had lots of nausea but no vomiting, serious sensitivity to smells, back pain and my boobs are killing me. You can check the pics to see how I'm carrying (not sure if you'd call it high or low). I've been craving both salty and sweet, and eating constantly, but I've only gained a pound. I'm 29 and this baby was made in September, if you want to check those online birth predictors.

That all said, what do you think we'll be having? Post your vote in the comments, and we'll announce what's going on between those legs Wednesday night.
