The doctor was surprised that she hadn't since she was already 3 inches dilated. We aren't due till the 24th of June but the Doctor expects that we could be a Mom and Dad by the end of this week. So now panic sets in and I call my mom and she calls her mom to give them an update and to make arrangements for them to come visit at our house. My Mom made sure to remind me that “your life will never be the same when you become parents”. 2007-06-03 18:32:06http://www.houseparenting.com/bloglink/Austral/fullblog/16.htmlhttp://www.houseparenting.com/bloglink/Austral/fullblog/6.htmlOur trip to the specialist this time started out by getting lost on the way there.

No morning sickness for her to this date.2007-02-14 13:01:54http://www.houseparenting.com/bloglink/Austral/fullblog/5.htmlhttp://www.houseparenting.com/bloglink/Austral/fullblog/3.htmlToday we went for our around 20th week ultrasound/follow-up appointment with our doctor. This is the one I've been waiting for... is it going to be a boy or a girl? Naturally the person doing the ultrasound said that she would go through the whole ultrasound and at "of course" the end tells us the sex of the baby. Filled with anticipation the moment finally arrived where she was determining what it would be. She said I wish it would move its hands out from in front of itself.
