No, I haven’t forgotten to finish off the entry about “Hey Nostradamus”. I just don’t have time right now to write the whole thing up. But I have to comment on the latest in frustrating pregnancy symptoms. I believe I’m going to start needing a blood transfusion every time I brush my teeth because my gums are bleeding so much. And no, for those of you who are apalled at my apparently poor dental hygiene, I do not have gingivitis. It is a normal reaction to pregnancy for a woman’s gums to bleed because the body has 50% more blood than it normally has so blood vessels get swollen and, therefore, you bleed more easily. But it’s getting ridiculous. Isn’t that a lovely and cheerful picture to start your morning?
According to the Old Wives Tales quiz I took this morning I am likely having a girl. This is in direct contradiction to the penis we saw on two different ultrasounds. Hmm…

does this mean we’re going to have a hermaphrodite?
