I found a link to this site that will try to predict the baby’s size/gender/hair color/etc. It asked me a bunch of weird questions (What’s the last animal I saw? How many rings do I wear? Do I paint my toes and fingernails?). And if it’s right I’m in big trouble. Not only because we are planning for the baby to be the wrong sex (and his name doesn’t work very well for a girl), but also because he’s (she’s??) apparently a monster baby. Here’s what it says:

The day you deliver, outside will be cold. Your baby will arrive in the early morning. After a labor lasting approximately 15 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 15 pounds, 6 ounces, and will be 22-1/2 inches long. This child will have light violet eyes and curly black hair.

Oh, and considering Ryan is fair-haired and I was blond when I was little and have darkish brown hair now I find it hard to believe our child will have black hair. But this came from the internet, and the internet never lies, right? Anyway, I thought I should give you all the information just in case anyone wants to change their guess. And if you haven’t guessed you can still do so – right up until the baby comes.

In other pregnancy news, there isn’t really any. I think I’ve finally hit the point where I am pretty much ready to be done, although I’m definitely willing to wait as long as necessary (unlike the girl on the forum I read who was asking how to break her own water. Um, WHAT? Yikes…). My back is sore, I can’t sleep or turn over in bed without major issues any more, it’s getting harder and harder for me to get out of chairs/the couch/any seated position, and putting on my socks is becoming such an ordeal that I’ve considered going barefoot. In February in Minnesota. But, all that being said I know I still have it pretty good. My back pain/trouble sleeping is nothing compared to a lot of people, and the rest is mostly just inconvenience. I’ll be ok. I’ll just be very excited to have it all over with at some point.
