Hi Patty, SOOOO sorry this post is late in coming. How are you
doing? Did you find out the sex? When I was pregnant with Sarah I
decided to find out and she would NOT cooperate either.

so sorry about your loss of Boden. I lost my son Caleb in 2004 to
premature birth. I don't think the pregnancy got easier for me with
Sarah my subsequent baby until we were home and she was in my arms
ok. But I will say, I did relish any moments when I wasn't nervous
or scared and I LOVED seeing those ultrasounds.

Peace,

julie
