It's a . . .

It's a baby! We don't know a gender, yet, but we do know it is a baby. We are waiting to find out the gender until Christmas for a couple of reasons. 1st, it's a free gift for the family; 2nd, it keeps me from buying quite as many things for the baby (especially since I spent my weekend in the Park City outlets); and 3rd, I have to know what it is so I know if I should bother finish knitting the baby blanket and blessing dress I have.

But, the family certainly has opinions on gender. Peter sent me an e-mail with the photo he scanned saying "Here's baby XXX." I took that to mean it is a super girl because I don't know of anything else that has three x chromosomes! When we asked Brigham what he thought it was he said a boy and a girl. I said, "You think we have two babies in there?" He explained, "No, I think it has boy parts and girl parts." I tried to tell him that brings up a whole other set of issues we would rather not deal with but he didn't mind. Julia of course wants a girl and I just want something without quite so much energy. I've been thinking that meant a girl but if we could have a calm boy (if those exist), I would take that too. :)

Anyway, the baby seemed to be doing great and they said it is very active. So, if all goes as planned, we should have a baby around March 19th! Oh, I am sticking in a random picture of the babies arm. I figured it didn't matter which picture I put in because it isn't like you can tell what you are looking at anyway. :)
