6 weeks and counting

6 weeks and counting for those of you who are wondering when we will be finding out the gender of the newest little Williams. I went to the Dr. on Tuesday and everything thing is going perfect. Pee looked good, blood pressure was exactly where it should be and baby's heart sounded like music to our ears. I was even given a new perscription for some heavy duty anti nausea medicine (we are talking $35 a pill)!!!! This stuff should really work and hopefully I only have a few more days or weeks of needing it. We have another appointment in a month - and then two weeks after that appointment- we get to have the gender ultrasound!!!!!! So place your bets now.

We came to the decision to find out what we are having based on a couple of things. First and foremost- we look at it this way- the day the baby actually arrives is going to be filled with plenty of excitement of its own- so why not get a little "teaser" half way through. Secondly, this is our first baby and therefore we have NOTHING - while I like greens and yellows as much as the next guy it would be really nice to be able to splurge on some gender specific items. And finally - I hate surprises I can not wait for things like birthday presents and Christmas - let alone the gender of my first child. Although I have already set myself up for the disappointment I may encounter if my child has decided to take a more modest approach. Let's cross our fingers that we have a future exhibitionist so that I (and all of you) will get to know if pink or blue is appropriate.

As for the big surprise - Ryan and I have decided that while we will be sharing the gender of our upcoming child with everyone- we will be keeping the name a secret until the big day - feel free to offer suggestions and ideas, nothing is set in stone until baby arrives - however you will not even get a hint from either of us- so don't bother trying......

Here is something fun- for all you moms out there let me know how often this Chinese Gender Chart worked for you
