The Big Reveal - Take 2
Well, the doc was "gracious" enough to reschedule for next Wednesday. So, barring any further minor excuses for cancellations, we should have a gender determined around 1300 hours. We'll keep you posted!

And the Mystery Continues
Today was supposed to be an exciting day for the Hollands. Today we were scheduled to arrive at Sarah's doc and decipher, through all it's grainy wonder, whether that little peanut was going to bless up with a princess or a, well, not princess...
Mother Nature had other plans.
Last night a somewhat severe ice storm made it's way through DFW. It did get cold. It did rain. It did ice. BUT, my pregnant wife and about 90% of the population still made it to work this afternoon! God forbid the doc keep his schedule. They could have moved the appointments later, but alas, they cancelled everything altogether.
So the mystery of the peanut's privates continues. We're supposed to hear some word about a rescheduled appointment tomorrow. In the meantime house prep continues: We've picked out the colors for the nursery (except the choice depends on this whole genitalia thing), the flooring goes in this weekend, the painting of the living room is almost finished and, thanks to Jenny, the bedroom paint is all done. Lots of work, but worth all the effort. I think...
Another update should come tomorrow once we get word of the new sonogram date. Stay tuned, stay warm, and stay safe!

Visual Confirmation
Hello all!
If you've been wondering what's taken us so long to post, hmmm, let's see:
12/15 Closed on the house.
12/19 - 12/21 Moved into house.
12/24 - 12/28 - Had family in for Christmas (and help!).
12/31 - Had friends over for New Years Eve.
1/1 - 1/3 - Had friends stay for the Cotton Bowl.
1/5 - 1/9 - Sarah came down sick, played doctor and worked on house.
1/10 - Present - Recovery...
It's been one heck of a whirlwind month. However, fun things have been thrown in from time to time to remind us of what's in store! Dates have been set for events and the ever growing belly of my wife remind me daily that yes, I am in fact going to be a father before I know it.
Sarah's currently right on track. During her last check-up they informed her that's she up 9 lbs, which is right where she's supposed to be. All the check-ups have shown that she's in tip-top shape, probably even better than I am unfortunatley. The big check-up comes next Wednesday the 28th when we'll find out if "it" becomes "him" or "her". Thank God, I'm tired of referring to my child like something out of a 50's horror film.
Other than that we're just working on prepping the house. Sarah's begun painting the place (except the nursery. Need to wait to see what the kids packing before we can pick that color!), we ordered some flooring so we can get rid of the carpet, and I'm up to yard bag number 40 trying to clean up the mess the previous residents left in our yard. Sarah's pretty excited about fixing up her and Jenny's old crib for her own little one and getting the nursery in order. I have a feeling, after the sex is discovered, that this little shin-dig will be thrown into overdrive. So be prepared for a few more rapid posts in the months to come! Talk to you all soon!
