We'll keep calling it "It" for a little while longer
The ultrasound yesterday went really well. Everything looks good. The baby seemed bigger than I thought it would be at this point. Bridget was not pleased - ultrasounds mean that mama can't hold her right now. That's not a good thing. But baby #2 looks healthy and has been moving around quite a bit.
I did something I've never done before. I was curious about the sex of the baby, but I wasn't dying to find out. So we left it, and we'll find out when we meet him/her in person. I've heard that this is the best kind of surprise there is, and I'll try anything once.
On the real estate front, we've finally heard back. They counter-offered around lunchtime today, and we counter-offered back. Then they countered our counter, and we just countered their counter. Their last offer was $5k above our absolute upper limit, so we're hoping they'll split the difference on the last two offers. If they decide to hold where they are, we'll probably take it anyways, and I'll (yikes) take on some piano students or something. Who am I kidding? I'll be doing that anyways. All I know is that I will be very glad to get this negotiating over with so I can sleep soundly tonight (or just start stressing out about a whole different set of problems). We'll see.
