Tick.....Tick.....Tick.....

Have you missed us? WEERRREee BAAAaaaaccckkk!

But this time it is different! Yes! Better!! Bigger!! Larger Than Before!!! Even MORE Exclamation Points!!!! WOW!

Okay,so it's not that great. But it is new.

The last 2 blogs have been about journeys. Journeys across distance. Traveling across the country. This blog is also about a journey, but not across a distance. Across a lifetime.

The 4th member of our family is about to appear. He/She has been building and growing for the last 9 months. Originally a minor footnote in our life, it has now grown to a major bookmark. She/he will soon start writing her own chapter.

Why are we saying "She/He" or "He/She"? Because we don't know. Here is the consensus so far:

A family member who has had great success plotting events by the actions of distant stars is convinced the child is a girl, based on the moon being in the left armpit of somebody-or-other.

A friend of the family who is also the director of an ultrasound clinic and performed a detailed ultrasound says she is, "85% sure" it is a girl.

So, we are pretty darn sure it is a girl, using all methods of prognostication.

Stay tuned. 8 days and counting.
