A week from today we'll find out if we're having a mini-DP or a mini-Flib! I feel like I'm five years old waiting for Christmas to arrive. Since I'll know the rest of my eternal existence, though, I suppose another week of suspense won't hurt me. The above picture shows what our babylein might look like if we end up with a boy. Dave was born for the beach . . . and for eating sand, apparently.
My favorite exchange on the topic of the baby's sex happened last week between Dave, my sister Hannah, and me:
Sarah: We're finding out soon if our baby's a girl.
DP: Or a boy.
Sarah: Or both.
Hannah: A hermaphrodite?
I actually meant twins, but I suppose you never know. Wondering if our babylein is a girl or boy vaguely reminds me of when I was waiting for my mission call. I pinned a huge map on the wall (courtesy of DP) and asked everyone who visited my apartment to venture a guess. Of course with a mission call the possibilities are much, much broader than with babies, so it is triply impressive if someone gets it right.
Well, my dad stopped by after a BYU football game and I handed him a marker to record his prediction. He mused over the map for but a moment before writing "Berlin, Germany" and saying offhandedly, "That'd be depressing." When I opened my call, I laughed and laughed to think that my daddio was the only one to guess correctly . . . and he called it depressing. (Luckily Berlin turned out to be incredible in every way, despite a lack of lederhosen.)

It's a girls and will be a beautiful morph of both her grandmothers!
So maybe the big question is, What does your dad predict it will be?
Love the picture! The thing about genetics is, your baby could look like that, even if it is a girl. She'd be adorable! By the way, Dad thinks it's going to be a girl because, "Sarah gets what she wants." He cited the mission example as his proof. He said this before you were even expecting. Josh and I also say girl, but Noah says boy. He doesn't know much about girls yet.
i am so so excited to find out if it's a girl (or boy, haha. boys are great, too, but i'm feeling the girl vibe). we should have a little contest. anyway, you better send a mass text or blog about it when you find out (or i guess you could even call me!)good luck!
we're excited for you to find out!!
