Gender is as yet unknown. Went yesterday with the daughter for her latest
sonogram and was amused to note that the nurse administering the procedure
was being careful, as per instructions, not to reveal the genitals.
How excited? Good question. Definitely excited, but not in the near
panic-level anxiety sort of way that accompanied the birth of the first. Big
change here. When Keegan, who is just turning two, was born, his
grandparents were asked to stay away to give dad, mom and baby a chance to
bond before we descended. This time daughter Kate wanted us here early,
mainly to lend a hand with Keegan, and that sort of concern seems to have
utterly disappeared.
What we know at the moment is that Kate is eager to get the pregnancy over
with. Based on the medical evidence "Wiggle" currently weighs in at 7 lbs 13
ozs and if he/she doesn't arrive until June 15 is likely to be a whopper.
