Finally had my 20-week ultrasound today, at 21 weeks! After numerous phonecalls to my doctor and reminders that I should have it done, they finally got the scheduling ready and it actually worked out in my schedule pretty well. Travis met me at the clinic, and I dropped the girls off at my neighbor's for a couple of hours. Everything was great in the ultrasound - a healthy, beautiful baby, as far as we can tell for now!
Travis and I have been going back and forth about whether to find out the gender this time, because Travis REALLY wanted to know for the first two pregnancies. I assumed we would find out, but he was suddenly reluctant to, for some reason (he won't say that it's because i was right, it WAS more fun that way ;) ). So, last night, going to bed, he still was on the fence. I asked Emily this morning, and she thought that she might like a surprise. As the appointment started, Travis was still undecided, and I would have been happy either way. At the last moment to decide, he gave the GO signal and the tech showed us a key picture saying we're having a...
haha not so fast! Now Trav thinks we should try to keep it to ourselves. There's no way I can do it. I will slip up and use appropriate pronouns with reckless abandon.

It's been a crazy week and the girls are exhausted, which means they saved their best behavior for the two hours I was away from them this afternoon and have howled the rest of the day. It's amazing what getting enough sleep does for these girls. I've heard amazing things about gluten-free diets, and I wonder if they (and I?) would be less dependent on adequate sleep if I ate less wheat? I've pretty much narrowed Audrey's tummy troubles down to onions or corn (cornbread), so I think I've had enough dietary experimentation for the time being.
