Today we went to our Doc's office for an ultrasound to hopefully determine the gender of the little baby growing within Mary. While we had to deal with a crotchety ultrasound tech who didn't want kids in the room (so Mary found out we were having a girl while I was in the waiting area with Sarah and Nathan) we're excited to have girl #2 and look forward to her arrival sometime around the first of May. There weren't any super clear shots (like with Sarah) to determine the gender of the baby but they didn't see any "extra parts" down there and they're pretty sure she's a girl.
Sarah is excited that she is going to have a little sister as that what she has been wanting and talking about. An interesting conversation between Sarah and I the other day went like this (with Nathan and Mary closeby as we enjoyed a Saturday morning in mom and dad's bed):
Jeff: "Sarah be careful of mommy's tummy. Remember the baby's in there".
Sarah: "Daddy, you put the baby in mommy's tummy."
Jeff (after a chuckle or two): "Really, who told you that?"
Sarah: "Ruby.... she told me that you put the baby in mommy's tummy"
Jeff: "Oh.... okay"
So this conversation happened after recent posts on Rebecca's blog regarding Ruby's uh, maturity... so I'll just say that I'm glad that Ruby gave Sarah the watered down version and I'll have to supervise their conversations and interactions a little more closely in the future ;*)

Congratulations guys!
Hey guys. Bridget just told me about your comment on my blog. It's funny I never really thought that other people might stumble across it. Anyway, good to hear from you and congrats on getting that baby in! You'll have to tell me the secret for getting girls sometime. We haven't had much success at that.
That's my girl! I had to tell her that over a year ago! Then I caught she and Sarah playing "Mary and Joseph" and Sarah was of course Joseph and Ruby made Sarah put the baby up Ruby's shirt. A few weeks ago Ruby said, "but HOW do the daddy's get the babies in there..." and I didn't go there. I just started using really confusing words like egg and fertilizer and swimming and she was baffled enough to not have any idea of a follow up question.
