The BIG DAY's Almost Here

Okay, well not the BIG Big Day of Delivery, but one of many that preceeds it. The Big day I'm referring to is the one where I have my 18 week exam. Tomorrow I (finally) get to find out the sex of our baby. I'd like to think I've been pretty patient up to this point, but now that we're basically entering the remaining 19 hours (yes, I'm counting down.) until it's official I just can barely think of anything else. Rob and I think it's a girl and we'll see if we're right tomorrow. If it's a boy, then we'll be just as happy like any parent with their first child.
Although I find out the sex of the baby tomorrow, I won't be posting the official news until after the holidays because we're making it a surprise on Christmas for Grandma Joan (a.k.a. Giagia) And a little history for those who don't know, but Giagia is GREEK for Grandma, you pronounce it Ya-Ya. I think Joan's likely as excited to hear her called that as me and Rob are.
As for baby, here's a neat pic at what Little One looks like in the womb right now.
Here are the highlights of what Little One's going through this week:
The baby is about 7 ounces and 5.5 inches long (give or take). And the baby can actually hear me talking - that's right!! My baby can hear me. So I feel a little less crazy talking to her or singing to her now because she can hear something - although I know she doesn't likely know what exactly it is. His/her Senses for smell taste, sight and hearing and honing and developing to the stage they'll be at once he/she's born.

Now to find out what exactly I'm having, be sure to check back after Christmas. I'll certainly post as soon as possible. And I'll try to scan in pictures of the ultrasound if possible.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
