In exactly ONE SHORT WEEK from today, we find out if Caroline will have a Baby Sister OR a Baby Brother!!! I can't believe the time is already here. The first trimester of this pregnancy was so slow, but this second trimester is flying by so far. I hope this week flies by too!! We can hardly wait!!
People keep asking me if I have a feeling either way. I really don't! This pregnancy has been really different than Caroline in terms of how sick I've been...with her, I was really sick every day for about 4 brutal weeks. With this pregnancy, I was really sick on and off (about every other day or so) for a loooooooong 15ish weeks. I just now started to feel better. I haven't had any cravings because food hasn't tasted good until now. The baby's heartbeat has been between 158-163 most appointments. I'm already showing big time (it's crazy!) and feel like I'm carrying high. I guess, if I had to guess, I might say girl. But most of my friends and family think boy (including Caroline...although she has just started saying there is a "sister" in mommy's tummy).
Either way, we'll be thrilled. I thought I had a preference at first but now I really don't. I think it will be incredibly special for Caroline to have a sister and get to experience that relationship. I also think it will be amazing if we have a boy and get to experience "one of each". I do think Matt needs a little golfing buddy...although he says he doesn't because he already has one (Caroline :-) Really, we just want a healthy baby (I'm very apprehensive about this part of the "big" sono) and everything else will be icing on the cake. Be sure and vote on our poll...I want to know what you guys think Baby Krauss #2 is!!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Let it be known that I guess girl! But let it also be known I am usually wrong! Ha!
I voted boy! :) Can't wait to hear!
Since yoiu said you are carrying high I say girl, but I am hardly ever right in guessing baby gender. :)
i say boy secondary to the fact that food doesn't taste good. it never tasted good with smith. either is great of course....never enough little laura's running around!! plus, a potential wifey for smithro :)
Ok -this is stressing me out! I thought I had it all figured out until I saw you & doubts crept in... now I have less than a week to make up my mind! Yikes!!! :)
