Most people are taken aback by the fact that Jim and I have decided to keep it old school and not find out what the gender of our baby will be before the birth. I guess I have always been in love with the idea of pushing the baby out and the doctor ( or in our case, midwife) saying...IT'S A...!
My Mom always made the story of that moment like a fairy-tale for me. She has always said that it is the greatest surprise you can give yourself and that once that baby comes out all of your pain seems to vanish.
I am ready to experience that moment in just a few short months. I am hormonal...so I cry at the thought of that moment..."the" moment.
Every single person, no exceptions, will say that they are "a planner" so that is why they are finding out what they will have. I have to say I am a pretty good example of someone who is "a planner" and besides pink or blue clothes and maybe the nursery theme...there isnt much "gender-based" to plan that can't be conquered once the baby is born.
But, to each her own.
I am plagued by old wives tale theories....so far almost all of these point to a girl, even the wedding ring on a string over my wrist.
It is fun to try and guess. This is why we have added the gender and name poll on the page. It is just fun to imagine life with a boy...or life with a girl.
Whatever God has chosen to give us is a perfect reward rather it be dressed in pink or blue.
I'm glad you're waiting! Too many people find out ahead of time anymore. What happened to just buying light greens and yellows for the baby shower. A boy or girl, can be spoiled just the same :)
