So confusing...

four weeks ago I went to my midwife and she and another midwife decided that I was having a girl. I went in again today, and my midwife was feeling a bit unsure of herself b/c yesterday a lady had a baby that she thought was going to be a girl, but it was a boy. So, she said, let's check again....hmmm...."oh" she gasped, "I think it's a boy". I said "oh boy" and for some reason had this urge to laugh really hard. So, yeah, now I feel a bit like I don't know what I'm having, even though it's very likely that it's a boy. I told James and he said that it's a boy for sure. hehehe I just feel weird now, and don't really feel like thinking about the gender right now. I just figure we better get woprking on a boy name. So that's my news for the day, or week, or until I get back on here again.

Oh yeah, and I found out that I've gained only 4 pounds if I go by my prepregnancy weight, but 7 pounds if I count after I lost a few when I first got pregnant. I am becoming amazed at how different each pregnancy has been so far. I even have different aches and pains! That sounds silly, but it's true.

Anybody want the "swine" flu?

Sorry, I don't think we can give it to you any more. We are almost all better. :) But now I have a cold. We've been fighting one sickness after the other for about 4 weeks, and it's really getting tiring! Hopefully we are just about done with it all, and are on the mend for good! Yay! Oh, and that is my excuse for not blogging lately, not to mention we had people staying with us for over three weeks during that time as well. What a busy month!

On a happier note, we are half way through this pregnancy and looking forward to having a girl! It seems like time is going by a lot faster this time. I'm having a hard time adjusting my mind to the idea of looking for girly things though. I can't help but notice baby boy things, and then I have to remind myself- No Hayley, you do not need blue things, you need girly colors! I'm sure I will get used to it quickly enough. I've gained 6-8 pounds so far, which doesn't seem like very much compared to Cameron, but he keeps me busy (it's like I'm lifting weights every day as I take care of him!), and every pregnancy is different, so I guess it's what can be expected. The baby moves around all the time, and I think that it's possible to feel from the outside now, so that's neat...although she's still so little it would be hard for anyone other than myself to find it at this point. Hopefully that just made sense.

still no camera folks... sorry bout that. :)
