Gender Issues

This week marks the half-way point for our pregnancy, which means it's ultrasound time! This morning they gooped up my belly, pushed around on my full bladder, and revealed quite clearly that there's another boy to carry on the Sterken line! (We have proof, but we didn't feel totally comfortable displaying everything about our son on the internet. :)

We'd been thinking it seemed like God had given us more experiences with boys, but we often said "she" when we talked about him, so we wondered if our intuitions were taking over. Apparently not. This continues the boy-girl pattern for Dave's parents and gives Erika's one of each grandchild, so we're all excited.

We thought about having the doctor write down what it was and put it in an envelope so we could open it tomorrow for Erika's birthday, but we wanted to make sure we didn't miss a thing! As far as the actual medical reasons for having an ultrasound, everything looks normal and healthy. Thank You, Lord!
