Like father, like daughter...

Mmmm after a large portion of manicotti for our first early Riccitelli Christmas Dinner while Dad and Karin were in town, Dad and I sit back for a little R & R....both of us showing our bumps! All of Ron's family came down the house and we had lots of Italian food and plenty of Momma R.'s famous chocolate chip cookies. And, no, I did not have any peanut butter fudge ; ) ! We had our last doctor appointment on Wednesday and got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time which was very, very cool. It was a healthy 156 bpm. Our next appointment is on Jan 9th (a day before my bday), where we'll get our next sonogram and finally know the sex. I'm going to finally put my own prediction out here. I think its a boy. I had dreams at first it was a girl until my first sonogram but after that my intuition is saying boy, boy, boy. Ronnie thinks its a boy too. I hear so many old wives tales on how you feel with a boy vs a girl and if any of that is true, every way I look and feel is saying boy. I could be completely wrong, of course. I would be happy with either or, so we are anxious to find out. Less than a month away and a great birthday present!
