What a wonderful week!

This week just doesn’t get any better. So many awesome things to look forward to! Well, first of all: the sex of baby bot! Note: I refuse to get more excited about this just because I have not a single nerve left. So I have a few fantastic distractions ahead.

I am super psyched out of my mind because me and Josh are watching the final season of Battlestar Galactica, scheduled to arrive in the mail via Netflix on Thursday. So not only will the sex of baby bot be revealed that day, but also the FINAL CYLON WILL BE UNCOVERED!!! Who will it be? They say it is a well known character. For those of you not hip to the show, basically a cyclon is a robot who looks human. But they have feeeeeeelings! However, they are our sworn enemy! Yet… they are hidden among us, and even THEY don’t know that they are cylons. Why, it could be your best friend or your baby’s daddy. Instant drama! Anyhoo, I bet it is one of these people in this photo! (no spoilers…please)

Thirdly, on Friday the movie 2012 is coming out. It will probably will be poorly acted and directed, but if the special effects promise to be AT LEAST as entertaining as The Day After Tomorrow, then I will munch my popcorn in glee. I shall ooooh and ahhh the giant tidal waves and sinkholes. The colors children, the colors! I can’t wait to see what imaginative ways we will see this craphole planet be destroyed.

Confession: I am a little concerned that my ability to survive a zombie outbreak on an apocalyptic scale will be hampered just a wee bit by a crybaby bot who will totally narc on our hidden location just because he/she needs a diaper change!!! Too young to realize that silence is our best defense (sigh). Aye aye aye, being a mom is hard already.

Let's put those Old Wives Tales to test!

Although I know the majority of you have voted on baby bot’s gender. I wanted to add some Old Wives Tales on predicting gender. Just for fun! Many of these things were mentioned (I think) at one point or another in the blog. So perhaps you were paying attention, or perhaps you are tossing a coin, or perhaps you were picking the gender you want me to have! There will be a lot of scratched heads if bot has nuts and bolts. Either way I’ve got symptoms in each category. Still the BOY symptoms are much more apparent to me.

(All applicable things to me in BOLD)

It's a boy if:
· You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy
· Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute
· You are carrying the extra weight out front
· Your belly looks like a basketball
· Your areolas have darkened considerably (ooooh TMI here)
· You are carrying low
· You are craving salty or sour foods
· You are craving protein -- meats and cheese
· Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy
· The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy (2nd TMI here)
· Your hands are very dry
· Your pillow faces north when you sleep
· Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you
· Pregnancy has you looking better than ever
· Your urine is bright yellow in color
· Your nose is spreading
· You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles
· You are having headaches
· You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number

It's a girl if:
