It is ultrasound day. Little baby Wagner is 20 weeks along, and today we get a sneak peek at him or her. I am so excited that I had a hard time sleeping last night ... and if you know pregnant me, you know that is amazing. At lunchtime, I'll pick Luke up from work and we will go together to the office, and afterward we'll eat a gender-appropriate meal for the little one. (Hamburgers for a boy, salads and cucumber sandwiches for a girl? I honestly have no gender preference at all -- though I still feel like I'm destined to birth a herd of adorable, loving little boys -- but hamburgers sound pretty tasty.)
Right now, I'm half reveling, half fretting in these last few hours of unknowing. The time when anything is possible and nothing is certain. When I still have to use both gender pronouns, because (s)he is still a secret to me. And the time when my mind runs to worry because maybe (s)he isn't forming properly, maybe his/her organs aren't properly tucked inside his/her body, maybe maybe maybe ...
And I have to be calm. And remember that I am tiny, and that God IS, and rest in that.
But Luke kind of thinks (s)he is a girl, and he is right about things a surprising percentage of the time.

Psyched!! It must be an exciting job to be the person who tells people if its a boy or girl.
p.s. the other day I was accused of being a "crazy aunt".
Praying for y'all today! Can't wait to find out!
