well, we are home and settled. the nurse left not too long ago. it feels good to be able to just relax for a moment. as for the hope of knowing the gender of mystery bump im carrying, no luck. my next appointment is on september 11th, so maybe i will find out then. if not, i have the strange feeling that i will be gettting a lot of yellow and green stuff at the baby shower in october at any rate, thanks for all the warm thoughts, i hope that this entry finds the lot of you in good spirits and high hopes.

much love and light to you all,

~kitte

ps. as soon as i get to cobh, you will be the first person that knows!
