I'm hoping my problem late last week was because I was running differently to stop my heels from bleeding again (they were really sore and the backs of my shoes are now permanently bloody.  And these were new shoes, sigh). 

I felt a few twinges during this run, but now that my heels aren't bloody, I think my form is normal.  I felt sore when I slept, but feel good now a day later.

Wednesday we had our ultrasound.  I brought the boys along because they wanted to know if they were having a baby brother or sister.  Caleb was intrigued at first, but lost interest when the tech went looking for things like the kidney and the gallbladder.  Eli was interested for about 3 minutes. I hoped that when the tech went searching between the legs, their interest would return.

But all we know right now is that the baby has a beautiful set of feet.  They prevented the tech from being able to see the goods.  Stubborn baby. 

I'm indifferent, but it would have been nice to know.  To compound the hilarity of this, one of the two classes that I'm still teaching was so into this that one of them baked cupcakes (in pink and blue) and another made one pink and one blue bracelet for me to wear into class so they could know.  I was supposed to reach for the right colored cupcake with the hand wearing the bracelet.   I milked it as long as I could to compound their outrage.  They, I think, were more disappointed than I was.

You should have smooshed them together and told them you were having a hermy.

So, what are you going to name it? Burt?

I'm pretty sure I already told you it was a girl, not sure why you'd even go to the ultrasound. I guess it's good to know she's healthy...I guess.

I like the way you tortured the kids in your class!
