We got another ultrasound today, this time because Beth's been having some problems. But the baby is just fine, although we still couldn't tell the baby's gender (baby is too modest). But the nurse said it has "very delicate features" and it's face was "dainty" so I hope it's a girl. To me, however, the face looked like a bare skull. You can see a picture on the baby pictures page. By the way, we've changed our minds about the name if it's a boy, but we haven't decided what we've changed to. Anyway, Beth's been hurting like hell for about a week nonstop now, hopefully we've turned the corner on that though. In other news, it hasn't rained here in weeks, it's hotter than the 4th of July in Muscat, and two of my bushes (see 3-26-2000) I have officially pronounced dead. A third is dying too and I'm trying to save it. The other two look OK so far. The tomato plant is also doing well, producing like crazy.
