A Lesson in Patience

Our second ultrasound appointment was scehduled for October 15th. Because Mike's birthday is October 17th, we prepared a card for the ultrasound technician to fill out. It said:
Happy Birthday Daddy
I am a ___________

which she was going to fill in with the sex of our baby. Well, things don't always workout the way we plan them, do they?

We were in the ultrasound room for 45 minutes. The technician did her very best to help us in our quest to know if we were having a boy or a girl, but no such luck. Baby Sartori's legs were perfectly crossed in front of the area of interest. I was slightly (okay VERY) disappointed to say the least and it took me a few hours (and a lovely bouquet of flowers from my very thoughtful husband at work) to cheer up.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. Perhaps our baby is already teaching me a lesson in patience. I, by nature, am a planner and I do realize that it will be absolutley impossible to plan everything with a child. I am already learning so much more from he or she than I thought I would....

Now I'm just looking forward to November 10th (and I plan to eat some sugar before we go!).
