Girl vs. Boy

I'm in the middle of my 11th week -- at least, according to my wacky calculations. The nausea is easing up slightly, but I still have stare-downs with the toilet.

Right now, we're pretty anxious on finding out the baby's sex at the week 18 ultrasound. I'm fairly certain it's a girl. Only because my family is nothing but girls, and if any of the old wives' tales are right, they too all point to a girl. We'll see!

My stomach, which was never what I'd call a shining example of what toned abs should look like, appears to protrude somewhat more than usual. Maybe I'm imagining it, but I'm pretty sure I'm not. Isn't it too early? This has been making Thomas and I spend a lot of time wondering if there's twins inside.

I am so anxious for this pregnancy to fast forward.
