Hello baby! We'll see you!

I couldn't sleep last night I was so excited! We get to see the baby for the first time today, my first (and only) ultrasound! We'll even get to know the sex, if *he* decides to cooperate.

Phil and I talked late into the night, he was saying he'd rather have the surprise because he loved how with Rosie it was so exciting, to be surprised. I thought about why I want to know this time, and there are two reasons. I suppose one reason is that I wasn't really of sound mind when Rosie came into the world, and my joy was kinda suppressed by the fact that I was puking and couldn't move anything below my neck. It's all kinda surreal still, when I think back. I think because of that I want to know more abut my baby when I have the time/energy to enjoy it, when I have the physical capability to jump up and down and get excited.

Another reason is that with Rosie, I knew it was a girl. I mean, I always knew it was a 50/50 chance and I could totally, definitely be wrong, but somewhere inside I just knew. I knew her name was Rosalie, and I knew she was a girl.

This time I just have the strongest feeling it's a boy, but I keep wondering if I'm right, and I'd love to know whether I'm right or not ASAP. I guess because I'm a little more confident in myself and my intuition this time.... I really want to know if I'm correct or if I'm crazy!

I told Phil I'd learn and keep it a secret, but we both laughed at that. I can't seem to keep secrets from him well at all. I'm good with like, surprises, but not secrets that he knows I know. Apparently there's something about me being like an open book, and not able to control my outbursts of emotion when I'm excited about something....

So the countdown begins. Ultrasound at 11:10 our time, 8:10 BC time, 9:10 Alberta time, 10:10 Manitoba time, and I'm not sure what time in Japan, but that should cover most of anyone who'd keeping up with this :) (if anyone is)

I'm just so excited!
