the essence

Tomorrow, tomorrow!

One more night to cast your vote! (on the sidebar) 9:15am tomorrow morning is our sonogram appointment! I'm feeling like this is the most excited I've ever been about finding out the gender. Either that or I've forgotten how excited I was before OR this is the biggest thing I've had to get excited about lately so I'm really feeling it. Either way, I can't wait.

I don't have a preference as far as the gender. I've deeply started to hope that it's a boy, mostly for Ray's sake. I could totally see myself having all girls. So, if it does turn out that we're having a boy I'll be so happy; if we find out we're having another girl I'll not only be so happy but also shocked to know we'll have three little girls in the house!

Lately, especially this week, I've been having so many very vivid dreams. Almost annoyingly vivid, actually. One was pretty funny & involved Megan & Hulk Hogan - I had to call to tell her about that one. Last night I dreamt that we had our ultrasound (shock!). Only they were an hour late taking us. Then, they never showed us the baby, never gave us any photos or told us the gender. I was very upset about that but was told there was no time for me to get another one. However, two hours later they finally gave me another ultrasound. But, first they showed me a flaky video & then everyone left for a little break. Then, they did a little bit of the ultrasound & went on another break. You get the idea. I never did find out the gender in that dream!

After the ultrasound I should be heading over to Rach's just to hang out with the girls for a bit. I always find it uplifting to spend time with my friends! And, then, my parents are coming this weekend! Perfect timing since today is my dad's birthday! Happy birthday, dad!
