Monday night I could swear I was experiencing the worst gas ever! After a chat with the midwife and my sister it sounded more like gall bladder problems. The midwife suggested trying a low fat diet. What? Who wants to cut fat from their diet when they're 6 months pregnant? Not me!
Then yesterday I had cramps for 5 hours straight. I thought I was going to die (again) and I made a trip to labor and delivery. Of course once I sat down I was magically fine. They hooked me up to the monitors and everything was totally normal.
Today I had my regular visit to the midwife, everything looks good. Especially my weight,
14 lbs in 7 weeks. Beat that! Or not. I might have almost cried when I found out.
But then... I got a date for my big ultrasound! December 21st everyone. AND... I will not be finding out if it's a boy or a girl. Are you so excited?! Justin doesn't think I can handle not knowing, which only adds to my reasons for not finding out. Okay, so I don't really have any reasons for not finding out besides the part where it ticks everyone else off that I don't already know. To be honest, it ticked me off for weeks a few months ago when an ultrasound was NOT scheduled when I thought it would be, but I finally got over it. And then I thought, "how many people in today's world don't know?" I can't name one. When I mentioned to the midwife I wasn't finding out she about peed her pants with excitement. She said it's WAY more fun to deliver an "unknown" baby because everyone looks to see what came out.
Hey Ben & Jessica, maybe I'll have a zebra;)

I totally agree, it's so fun, we have never found out and it's not that difficult. I'm so excited for you!!! I guess a boy :)
I think your gonna have a giraffe!!!!! Oh no a hippo!
Congrats on number four. That is great for you guys. Your kids are so cute. Have a great Christmas.
Did Ben and Jess say that you're a hippo???
Glad everything is fine. Just keep your legs crossed and this will all be a blur in a few years...
I had gall bladder problems right after kid #4 and I had a stabbing pain right under my ribs on my right side. I seriously thought I was going to DIE and leave my husband with 4 small childen to raise. Exercise and certain foods aggrevated it. I hope you don't get any more pains, and way to go with the surprise, I am much too impatient-I found out with all 5 of mine! I hope this helps, at least a little.
