Spoiler Alert! We're having a ...

Just home from the hospital. I've chosen a doctor that I'm really happy with and went in for an ultrasound. Medical care is different in every country. The secret here seems to be to show up, wander around the halls to find all the OBs, and ask a lot of questions. The kindly lady I've chosen for my prenatal care is already turning into a friend. As we've gotten to know each other, and I've shared my little story, she's done her darnedest to find me a good realtor, pediatricians, and now new friends! She literally wrote down names of ladies she knows in our new neighborhood. Very sweet.

The whole family went in for my scan on Christmas Eve, thinking that finding out the gender that day would be a fun Christmas gift to all of us. As it turned out, none of my 3 children were very cooperative that day and we came home unhappy campers. But today, Baby Edsall was very cooperative  and the verdict on the gender is in! One of my big kids gave a "Woohoo!", the other expressed mild disappointment.

I'll start my baby shopping tomorrow, and I'll be browsing in the baby boy's department!

My scan today cost 870 Philippine Pesos. That's about $21.42. I'm thinking at that price I might go in every week just to say 'hello' to the little guy!
