I’ll start with the bad news. Our family has had to bid farewell to the Stratus. That’s right, it didn’t survive the surgery at the auto body shop. It was told that the cost of the repairs exceeded the value of the car. So we’ve got a good little settlement from the other driver’s insurance company, but we’d like to replace the car without getting another payment and without digging too much into savings. It’s tough to find another car at the price we want, but we’re working through it. In the meantime, I made some minor repairs to my bike on Saturday so it may be my primary means of transportation to work for the next little while.
Now on to the good news. Dayna went in for her half-way ultrasound today and after they did all the technical measurements, they invited me in too. The ultrasound tech told me on the way into the room that she already knew what it was. I figured out from the way that she sounded so confident that she had seen some boy parts. And sure enough, we’re having a boy! The wonderful thing about this is that it would have been good news if it were a girl too! The tech couldn’t comment good or bad about the results, but to my untrained eye, things looked pretty good. The heart had all four chambers. I’m proud to say that after four previous experiences, I could kind of actually make out what we were looking at on the screen, unlike with the first one when you just actually wonder what you’re looking at (is that an alien? Are those parts connected to the other parts?). I had said it was a boy and Dayna thought it was a girl. We had a little wager and now she gets to take me to Phil’s BBQ.
