The baby was determined to “hide the goods” yesterday. It was hugging the umbilical cord, with its legs crossed tightly onto itself. The ultrasound technician is pretty sure she caught a glimpse of a boy, but we won’t know absolutely until our next ultrasound on November 29th. In the meantime, we are assuming we have a growing boy in there.

It’s still very squishy in womb because we’re only at 19 weeks. I guess if I had waited until 20 weeks, there’d be a lot more fluid around him and we’d be able to see more. Serves me right, I guess. BUT, now we get to have another ultrasound!

Last night I was checking my stats, and someone had got to my site by Googling “charming husband”. So I did the same, and my site comes up as the fourth listing. In all of Google, Nate is one of the top most charming husbands. Lucky me! He was quite surprised.

My pink Esther Williams hat is done,

all except for the scalloped edging that needs to be crocheted on. And it is amazing how badly it needs it. It makes all the difference in the world.

I tried my hand at it last night, but I need an expert. My friend Gayle, who crocheted the first one, is going to come over later and help me.

I want to knit one more by following my pattern, to check it, before I post it for everyone. I called one of my sisters-in-law that had recently admired the hat, and asked her to pick a color so I could knit one for her. And she picked red. I don’t know how I’m going to knit and then give up a red one. It’s my color! But hers will need to be a repeat shorter, so it won’t fit me anyway.

Fortunately, It’s a quick knit, and a fun one. I aim to have the pattern up soon, so if any of you want to knit them for Christmas gifts, there’d be plenty of time.

I think we have a boy!
