25 weeks and 3 days.... ish. WHEW!!

We're not very dependable, are we?

Yes, yes, I know it's been FIVE weeks since we've last blogged. A few of you have reminded me lately... does that mean you really like us!?!? I'm just going to assume so.

Well... let's see. Here's what has happened over the last month:

1. Another inconclusive trip to the doctor. We didn't get to do another ultrasound to check the sex of the baby, but that was because both mine and his/her weight and size are perfect, blood pressure is perfect, and he/she (Lucas? Ziggy? Ju-Ju-Be?) just wouldn't stop kicking! Knowing we have a healthy baby is more important than knowing if they will be a Lily or a Micah, right?
2. This trip did lead us to take drastic measures, however. This, my friends, is the "Intelligender Gender Prediction Test:"

It's a little test we picked up from CVS that is SUPPOSED to be 70-80% accurate. Basically, I peed in a cup. The result? What the sticker label on the cup designated as.....BOY! The question is... do we really believe this? Hmm....
3. Branden and I are about half-way through the quarter. We're staying above water, but man, it has been busy. I've been sick for a good 3 weeks now, so Brandens been being student/worker/caretaker/Superman. What a nice guy. And a sharp dresser, too!

Other than that, our lives are a mess of baby shower plans, finding a pediatrician, planning lamaze classes, and making time to watch The Office and Archer. Some things just need to be done.

So, friends, I'll leave you with that. A fairly uneventful update, but I must go back to writing papers and reading novels. Such is my life.

Baby, however, lives a pretty good life. He/She sleeps all day, eats whenever I get the chance, kicks me around a little (Little Branden, right?), and best of all, REALLY enjoys this contraption:

That's right, headphones for ma'belly. We've been playing some of our favorite music for the baby for about an hour a day, and some of it really makes him/her excited! Hopefully calm, too. Very cool. Thanks again, Ya-Ya and Gandalf!

Now, everyone, harass Branden into sharing something with you!

Love, Jill
