And Intelligender says.....

It's A...
I took one of these Intelligender tests with my last pregnancy and it was right! Now, don't get me wrong, I would never paint the nursery based on Intelligender results, but it is fun to do. I still think my odds are 50/50 either way, but it was neat. You have to be at least 10 weeks pregnant, and you just use first morning urine, add it to the cup and see what color it changes. There are crystals in the cup and they react with the urine and change color according to what the test senses and thinks that you are having. If it turns green, you are supposed to be having a boy. If it turns orange, a girl is in your future. I wasn't entirely sure which side mine matched since it didn't appear truly green OR orange, so I emailed a picture to Intelligender and this is the response that I got from them the next day:

Based on this picture this is a boy result!



Congratulations and please let us know when you confirm!



The Moms of IntelliGender

So we'll see! Just 7 weeks to go and we'll know if it's a boy or a girl! I have my second prenatal appointment with my MW tomorrow. I'll be 1 days shy of 11 weeks.

A distant place.

I'm 10 weeks pregnant today. The heart is still beating strong (thank goodness for dopplers) and I'm starting to feel a little bit better. My appetite has decreased which is good, but I haven't had much energy. I am tired. From about noon to 4pm I just want to crash. So during naptime the other day I started looking online for some close ultrasound places that will do an elective ultrasound and tell you the sex of your baby after 14 weeks. And I found one! It's a 2 hour drive from here and costs $95, but I could potentially find out if this baby is a boy or a girl in a little more than 4 weeks! I already have a medical ultrasound scheduled with the university hospital set for 8 weeks from today, but finding out 4 weeks sooner sure is tempting! If it wasn't such a long drive, I would totally do it. But, I suppose I should try to hold out the extra 4 weeks. Sigh.

9 more weeks

Only 9 more weeks until our big ultrasound! I am so excited I can hardly wait. Of course I am hoping for a girl since I already have 2 boys, but I would be happy about have 3 little boys just the same. Plus, I already have a boy name picked out that I am really liking. And no girl name as of yet. So either way, it's a win-win. I usually wait until I know the gender though before I start looking at names seriously though so I can narrow the choices by half.

Micah and my mom both think that this baby will be a girl. Everyone else thinks it will be another boy, including myself. I have been right in guessing the gender with all 3 of my kids. And soon we'll know if my intuition is serving me right yet again!

SWOM and social networking

Who doesn't love social networking? You can find almost anyone on Facebook and it's easy to communicate with people from all parts of the world from the comfort of your home computer. Then Twitter came along and once again, you can type out a short message and reach literally thousands of people in seconds. Social networking sites are expanding to meet the needs of different sects of people as well. SWOM is a site that I've recently run across that is a social networking site for marketers. SWOM is a diverse social networking community with an array of opportunities and information. Check it out if you get the chance.

My first prenatal appointment

I saw my MW (midwife) for the first time yesterday. It was a great appointment. I was there for over 2 hours, but had to wait about 20 minutes between my appointment and ultrasound. Yep, I got to see my little pumpkin seed again! He/she had a great heartbeat, 158 BPM! And measured 7w5d...giving me an EDD of 10/14/10. MW talked of inducing when I turn 39 weeks to avoid another supersize baby. I thought that was funny to talk about at the first visit, but I do not want to be induced, so hopefully that won't even be an issue. My first baby was 2 weeks early and weighed 6lbs 8oz. My second was 1 week early and weighed 9lbs 10oz. Both came on their own. I got my blood drawn which wasn't bad at all. And had the regular pap, and general health exam. I got a big first visit goodie bag and scheduled my next appointment in 3 weeks on 3/24/10. I'll be almost 11 weeks then. And the BIG NEWS!! The nurse called me at 8:01 this morning and told me that they already scheduled my ultrasound at the university hospital for May 13th! I'll be 18 weeks exactly and, if baby cooperates, should be able to find out if it is a he or a she! I am really excited to have a date to look forward to! The countdown is on!
