Well- I had my 16 week appointment (that means we are four weeks away from our big Ultrasound!!!!!). The test, well, it didn't go well. I tried my best to stay positive about the test, but I knew from my pregnancy with Ruthie that the super sweet drink doesn't go well for me. I arrived at the appointment right on time and began "chugging" the drink. With the first sip, I knew this wasn't going to be fun. It started burning my throat as I continued to drink. About 1/3 into the drink, I knew I wasn't going to finish. No sooner did I ask the nurse for some water that I ran into the bathroom and threw-up all the juice I had "chugged" so far :( It was awful. To make matters worse, when I flushed the toilet, it overflowed and made a huge mess on the floor. (So embarrassing!!) Boo! Of course, the nurse told me to go ahead and shut the door and being disoriented, I shut the door with me inside the bathroom (oh boy!) The nurse said "ah honey, why don't you come out" ... whoops! Of course, why would I stay in an overflowing bathroom?? Oh, I don't know why I do the things that I do sometimes!! Well- atleast I got a great story out of a not so fun experience!! hehe :)
So now what? I went up to my doctors appointment (and I hated my doctor today) !! He was sooo cold and quick to send me away. He listened to the heartbeat for no longer than 10 seconds and then sent me on my way. He was trying to schedule me another appointment today to drink the liquid, but I declined and said he was going to have to find me another option- I'm not doing it again!! Not today!! Hopefully- not ever!! As I discussed with another doctor, I may have to prick my finger a few times to check my sugar levels, but I'm waiting to hear back from the nurse to find out what route they want to take.
The good news?!?! I am 4 weeks away from my ultrasound to see my little boy or girl! I am sooo excited. Jon and I are still struggling with if we are going to find out or not- I'm still leaning towards a strong no and I think Jon is now starting to lean in the same direction. I thought it might be fun to have them take a picture and give it to us to try and figure out- but we'll see.
Any guesses?? It's time for your first round of guesses!!

Ooh ooh, I'm first! I definitely think it's a boy and I also definitely think you'll be able to find out from a picture, having been through it before! I know for Ava it was very clear. So... don't go that route unless you're ready to find out! Maybe you guys can be surprised but I'LL find out because I just can't wait...
