It does seem that babies like to come in "gender chunks." We know a family that has six girls and they are pregnant with a boy. We also know a family that has eight boys and one girl. Then again, we know plenty of families with matched numbers of boys and girls.

I think if pregnancy were 30 weeks, we'd have just as hard a time at 28-30. Just be thankful we're not elephants. The one at our zoo who gave birth later (two baby elephants this year) set a record for African elephant gestation at just short of 23 months... By the way, baby elephants are absolutely adorable.

Now to see my own baby's face! As cute as elephants are, my baby will be cuter. (:

See, I've been guessing girl. Maybe because the first three were boys. Odds have to work at some point the other way :-). Though, I know a family with five children, ALL boys.

here's hoping that baby comes soon!

i think it's a boy, too. (but note that i'm not very good at gender prediction.)

i always find myself wishing that pregnancy were 30 weeks instead of 40, no matter how much i try during the first trimester to psych myself up for enjoying the final weeks. i know that you are much more patient than i, but even you must be very ready at this point. i hope it happens soon!
