What will it be?

We have our ultrasound for baby #2 next Tuesday. For the longest time I was convinced that this baby is a boy. I was nauseous the entire first trimester - yet never was with Grace. I had cravings for fruit, veggies and pizza - lots and lots of pizza. With Grace I craved lots of sweets. My biggest craving thus far has been BBQ sauce. I could drink bottles of it at a time and be perfectly content.
But lately I've had sweet cravings too - Fruit Loops, ice cream and Paul just got back from the grocery store with a big bottle of apple butter (and I ate 1/4 of it right out of the jar!)
All this eating and you'd think that I'd be gaining weight like I did with Grace. But according to the doctor, I haven't gained a thing in the past three months. Although they did remind me that I lost about 15 pounds in the beginning.
Needless to say I have come to realize that all of the wives tales and myths of how to tell if it's a boy or a girl are proving fruitless this time around.
We have a boy's name and a girl's name all ready for next Tuesday. Now we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that the little one cooperates!
