Can you guess what happened at the ultrasound?

The radiologist said she's not "100% sure," but there were no . . . manly parts where there would be if it were a boy, so . . . IT's A GIRL!!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited, it's giving me heartburn.

Non-text-based Blog Post

I just realized there's been a lot going on this summer, and while I may have told you all about it, there has been no visual. And pictures are half the reason anybody even reads anybody's blog. It's true. Don't try to deny it. So I thought I'd take selections from the "SpSu 2010" folder on my computer with a little list of the major events of the summer. Here goes.

Mike may have learned to make real bread. It was quite tasty, even if the rolls got slightly burned on the bottom.

Sarah came to visit while she was at her ballet intensive. More like we kidnapped her. But then when she went home our house was always really boring.

Apparently this was more comfortable than her dorm bed. I dunno, maybe all the stanky ballerina feet finally got to her head.

And of course the usual happened . . . :)

Then we happened to meet the Pirate King. He got a little less hairy, you'll notice, but still just as ridiculously flexible. Ew. Also, did you know that the official, (cough cough legal cough) DVD of that movie is coming out in September? No more secretive eBay hunts!!!

Then the Pirate King was attacked by the Phantom of the Opera/Headless Horseman/G.I. Joe wielding a furious wooden spoon. The battle was quite epic.

Then Mike applied to med school. No big deal. Except for that it has consumed his entire waking life when he's not at work. Which, by the way, he is nowadays. He's back at the library in another Level 2 secretary position (which = really good pay). In fact, the supervisor heard he needed a job and called and asked him to apply. That's how much they like him. Then they hired him at the rate he had been at before he quit, which is much higher than most students who work at the library. Pretty cool, huh?

Anyhow, this is the picture for which I dressed him up and posed him next to our cleanest cinder block so he could attach it to his med school applications.

And these are the amazingly adorable twin boys (4 months old) we babysat this morning so their parents could go do sealings. Oh my goodness, it was so much fun. They were all giggling and happy and smiley until I got the camera out (of course). Pretending to be the parents for a few hours makes the whole actually being parents thing a little more real. Not to mention, I got so excited my brain hurt. Luke likes me better . . .

. . . but Mike and Thomas totally bonded.

All the same, I really kinda hope we don't have twins. I don't think we will, but there's always the chance. We have our ultrasound on Tuesday (!!!) and then we'll see. :)

By the way, for those interested, I finally gave up and cut my hair because the front wasn't getting long enough. It isn't the haircut I was waiting for, but it's not a mullet. It's actually quite cute. I am satisfied. . . . I just also don't like getting my picture taken. Maybe it's all the swelling.
