I read several other blogs and this one had me rolling yesterday. Rich has long tried to explain this 'etiquette' to me.....just read, you'll understand in a moment.

Pink!
Cari and Pat found out it's a GIRL!!!
We are very excited about this for a couple reasons.
One, Pat's family, just like Rich's, "only has boys" according to all the family members. They are tickled to prove grandma Cadorette and the uncles wrong. Schneider's have GIRLS.
Reason two. No 'Zachery syndrome' for Nora at future family events. I'll explain. On my dad's side the oldest grandchild is my cousin Zach who is a year almost to the day older than me. Then it's me, his sister Kathleen, and then Cari.....then WAY down the line 10 yrs younger than him Brian, then Jason.
Poor Zac didn't have any boy cousins to play with and got trapped playing house and girl games with us.
Nora has escaped the 'Zachary syndrome' because we are pretty sure that a 3 yr gap between her and Baby Girl Cadorette will not prevent them from being good friends.
Mom and Dad are still in Greece right now so they find out Friday when Cari picks them up from the airport.
The cousin lineup is such so far.
Willman side: Michael, Samantha, Nora, Trent, and Baby Girl Jennen(Jen's due 2 wks after me but a name is still undecided) Unfortunately, Michael will be experiencing the 'syndrome' with a 5.5 yr gap between him and Trent.
Schneider side: Nora, Trent, Baby Girl Cadorette(due Sept. 11th)

Baby update
Had my 30 wks appt. this morning...
All seems normal and as expected with Trent at this point.
My blood pressure was 104/60, not much to my surprise. I'd been feeling goofy, flighty in the head all morning after a BAD night of sleep.
The weight gain this time around is really surprising me, or more the lack there of. So far, 19-20 lbs gained which is a lot lower than I assumed I would be at this point.If you knew how I was eating lately (read Easter jellybeans and cake) you'd wonder too. BUT, not going to look a gift horse in the mouth on that one.
Sidenote: I've decided that a June date is torturous in the holiday food binge department. Not only did I have to get through Halloween candy, but Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines, and Easter...truly you hit every major eating holiday with a June due date.
The Braxton Hicks this time are killing me. Never even had one that I could tell you about with Nora, yet every evening around 6pm Trent starts up.
Another great blessing has happened in that all the spotting stopped about a week ago. After 11 wks of spotting and pelvic rest it stopped. Thank you, thank you to the powers that be for that one.
Oh, crazy fact. My waist is measuring 43" right now, it was measured as part of a game at my shower this past Saturday. I believe that's up from 33" pre-pregnancy. Once again, surprisingly lower than I thought.
