The Balloon Theory

Here's Matt's theory on the gender of Baby Smith: for my work baby shower (which we had before Christmas) I received a bunch of pink and blue helium balloons. To this day (well maybe up to yesterday) there has been one blue balloon that is still floating. Therefore, we are having a boy. I guess not too much longer before we find out if Matt's theory is right!

Our now weekly doctor's appointment went fine. She confirmed that baby's head is facing down, baby's back is on my left side and the limbs are on my right side. I could have told her that the limbs are on the right based upon the daily beating that side takes from baby. I'm amazed that I haven't suffered internal injuries from baby's kicks! The doctor thinks that baby should arrive close to his/her due date. Maybe baby will be perfect like me and arrive on their due date.

And thank heavens for Matt!!! He's been wonderful this whole pregnancy, but was extra wonderful this past week. It was rough for me because I had to work late most nights and I'm becoming more uncomfortable every day, thankfully Matt worked extra hard at making things as easy as possible for me. Baby and I are so lucky!
