It's a Boy!

It took less than a minute for our sonographer to be able to tell us what gender our new baby is!

All measurements and indicators are looking wonderful. And John and I (and most everyone who ventured to guess) were right in our guesses that it's a boy. It's a happy discovery. I know that boys can be a handful. But it also means that our last name will be carried into another generation, and that John has a little boy to teach lacrosse to (although I'm sure Katie will also get lacrosse lessons from Daddy).

I'm even gaining less weight than I'm allowed to gain. If only I felt that way -- I feel huge! My second trimester has definitely been harder than my first. As Baby Boy Biddison gets bigger, he's pushing into my stomach, which means I'm often having stomachaches, especially at bedtime. And worst of all is my back -- it's hard carrying one baby in my arms and one in my tummy! Still, I'm really glad that our baby seems to be healthy -- it makes the rest worth it.

Thanks for your prayers!
