Baby Bellatrix or Baby Betelgeuse?

So as of tomorrow (Thurs. Jan. 21) I will be 13 weeks along. Our kids are so excited about the baby! (As are we) Originally we decided as a family that we were going to not find out the baby's gender thinking it would be neat to wait until the birth to see what we'd been baking all those months. The kids will all be there (at the birth) and they all decided it would be a fun surprise.

However as time has passed we have all gotten a little too eager to talk about names and maybe pick up a few baby items, after all shopping for baby and coming up with names are a big part of the fun of a pregnancy. Until we find out the gender (around 20 weeks which will be early March) the kids have come up with random names to call "it" since no one likes to say "it". A few they have come up with are Bellatrix and Betelgeuse (the two stars that make up the shoulders of the Orion constellation---my kids are weird---they are really into astronomy). They have also ocassionally called the baby various Greek names such as Aphrodite, Demeter and Haphaestus (thank you Percy Jackson). And finally of course what baby name list would be complete without contributions from J.K. Rowling? So naturally they've thrown Albus Severus into the mix. Oh and just to keep it interesting Max likes the name Pluto...as in Mickey Mouse's dog!

I found a gender analysis test online that can be taken as early as 10 weeks which has a 90% accuracy result in lab and 82% accuracy in "real life" use which allows for user error. If you have been on prescription progesterone supplementation (which I have) you have to wait for 10 days after last use or it will affect your results adversely. So, my last dose of progesterone is next Thurs. and 10 days later I'll let you know what the test says that I am 82% likely to be carrying!

For the record: Rob and I and Caleb and Nate have no preference. Hayden would like to have a sister (I'd like her to have one; all girls should have a sister...sistera are the BEST) but says she just "LOVES baby boys" so it would be okay to have a boy. Max says it IS a sister but he doesn't mind a brother...but "it's NOT a brother...it's a SISTER!" Nobody cares what the gender is...we are just happy to have a baby!
