I don't think I'll be disappointed with the decision to wait to find out the gender of the baby. I did, however, underestimate how difficult waiting for nine months to find out the gender would be. I am a very impatient person. I am proud of myself for sticking to the
surprise, but I cannot wait to see what has been rolling and bouncing
around inside my belly!
I honestly go back and forth about what I think it is all the time. When I was first pregnant, I was so sure it was a boy--I had a specific craving (cheese and only cheese) and no sickness at all--just like Conner. But then, I was sure it was a girl--everything was just like when I was pregnant with Brielle (strong sense of smell, really bad morning sickness, strong food aversions). But then I was second guessing myself again because the activity level of the baby is just like Kaden and I think I'm carrying pretty central to my belly the further along I get. Though, this is the first pregnancy where I have been much more health conscious by watching what I eat, practicing yoga actively and actually get some rest when I can!
Our families are torn as well. My whole side of the family is sure that it is a boy--except my sister, who is sure that it is a girl. Patrick's whole side of the family is sure that it is a girl--except for his sister, who is sure that it is a boy. Pretty even split.
So far, most of the signs point to a girl. But old wive's tales are not scientific or definitive in any realm. I've carried boys and girls, but I haven't been pregnant for seven years! I don't remember all of the details and have very little photograph evidence of my pregnancies.
So this week, I have a question for YOU!!! We only have about 6-7 weeks left until we find out for sure, but in the mean time, guessing sure is fun.
