Owen came home from work Saturday morning to find me crying on the sofa. Nothing in particular was wrong, I just hadn’t had a good night sleep and was feeling kinda down. I’ve accepted that my hormones are completely out of whack – but it’s taking Owen a little longer to get there. Imagine working a very long night and coming home to your loving wife who you really hadn’t seen since Wednesday only to find her having a good cry for herself. How would you react? Well, Owen reacted by (of course) making me laugh by stating, ‘If anyone’s going to cry in this house, it’ll be me!’ Straight to heaven to that guy for putting up with Hormone Harriet the past 5+ months (plus our entire marriage, dating – basically since he met me!).
Today I had a doctor’s appointment and I’ve channelled all my apprehension for Dr. Pervy into love for his nurse. She’s the one who weighs me (up 2 pounds) and tells me it’s ‘good’, talks to me about my test results – also good, calls me honey, darling and refers to the bathroom as the loo even though she has no trace of a UK accent. So, having her at the beginning of my visit butters me up for Dr. Pervy who spends a total of 30 seconds with me, feeling my belly and listening to Junior’s heartbeat which frankly, I could listen to all day.
Throughout this pregnancy there’s been a lot of discussion about what we’re having. So far, only 3 people (Emma & Lori Dawson, Owen’s friend Tony) in our life think it’s a boy – the rest of ya’ll look at me and to quote Joanne P. think pink. Owen and I both think it’s a girl although we have no scientific proof of that fact. I just have a feeling while Owen figures staying up all night for a living has prepared him for having a daughter.

I have no idea what you are having - I have no feelings, inclings (sp?) or vibes... I just know that (s)he will be happy, healthy and cute as heck!!!
I say a little prayer for the growing Connell family every night that the next 5 months (and actual birth) go as well (and "normal") as the last 5 months!
I felt so bad for you when you said you were crying on the couch! If I were there instead of Owen, I probably would have cried with you instead of making you laugh. Gotta love that guy! Always knows what's best for his gal.
As for the sex of the baby - who cares? as long as it's healthy and happy!
May the next half go by so fast you will be in the delivery room before you know it!
Love,Aunt Maureen
I said I thought you were having a boy too. I guess pregnancy takes your memory and replaces it with tears.
Cry all you want, at least you have something to blame it on.
Kisses!

The tears are just the tip of the iceberg. Your brain will start to malfunction as well. I will never forget the time I left the inside door at the house open and went to work (not unlocked WIDE open). Luckily no one new that there was a crazy pregnant lady living there or they would have been casing the joint for sure! The Dawson's are rooting for a boy but, we'll spoil (s)he rotten regardless!
Love Lori
