Ring Test

11 weeks today! Only one more week, and we are out of the first trimester! I feel like I just found out I was pregnant yesterday! Obviously, at only 11 weeks, we don't find out the sex of the baby for another 9 weeks. Today, a friend at work suggested the "ring test" which SUPPOSEDLY tells the sex of the baby according to an old wives tale. Basically, you tie a string to your wedding ring and hold it over your belly. If the string goes in circles, you are having a boy, and if the ring goes back and forth, you are having a girl. Obviously this is not used in place of an ultrasound:). Well, we did it anyway...and if we find out it's a boy at our 20 week appointment, I will have faith in this little ring test! It's fun to make guesses about what the baby could be. I hear that mother's instinct is the strongest predictor, but I don't really have any idea either way! We will have to wait and see.

We appreciate in advance all of your prayers and thoughts as we go into next week's appointment. We just pray that this baby will be healthy and grow strong!
