The anatomy scan revealed a (still) healthy baby. I'm very, very relieved.
The not-so-good news is that my placenta is lower than they prefer. It is not full-blown placenta previa but they will be redoing the entire ultrasound to monitor the placenta's location. If you're so inclined, I would appreciate some prayers for a continued healthy pregnancy, and for the placenta to correct itself.

Tomorrow's The BIG Day!
Tomorrow is our anatomy scan. If Rob gets his way, the baby will offer up a crotch-shot. As for me, I am filled with fear, the same way I am before every appointment. Learning the gender is merely a bonus to this important medical investigation of our baby's health.
So many horror stories I have heard are floating in my head. Feels like we have already been too blessed thus far. I don't know how I'm going to get any sleep tonight. My sincerest wish is that baby is healthy.

If You Believe Everything You See and Hear
I'm sure I've shared this story before, but you'll have to excuse a re-tell on account of the notorious "pregnancy brain." Many years ago I was walking when a woman stopped me. She purported herself to be a psychic and felt compelled to tell me some things. One of those things was that I would be the "opposite" of my mom. She elaborated that I would have a son followed by two girls. Basically, the opposite of my familial birth order.
I don't put much stock in that stuff so I remain skeptical, but I have thought since day 1 that this baby was a boy. Aside from the old wives' tales all indicating Team Blue, I have a sense of some sort that there is a person with a penis growing inside of me.
Where am I going with all of this? well, the anatomy scan is on the 22nd and I will need to make up my mind by then if I want to know the true sex of my Puerto Rican Jumping Bean.
For fun (not science, obviously) we bought an Intelligender from Target. This purchase was easily justified by the test being on sale. For those not familiar, you pee into a cup and it measures your hormones to determine the sex of your baby. All my friends who have tried have remarked that it was accurate. So, according to Intelligender:
