Boy or girl…

Ok… I’m weak.

August 2nd, we had our detailed ultrasound.  If you know me in real life, you know that I have been hell bent on NOT finding out the gender of this baby.  BUT…  I made the stupid decision of taking an envelope with us to the ultrasound… and when the tech asked me if we wanted to know the gender, I said NO!… but I asked her if she could put it in the envelope and seal it up… just in case I wanted to know a few days from then… and I could just look. 

I should have never even asked her to do that!  I should have known that I couldn’t hold out.

The very next night, we decided to look in the envelope.

To justify… I was starting to freak out a little… thinking… “What if it IS a boy and we don’t know… and we won’t be prepared…”  We have absolutely nothing gender neutral (except the big stroller).  Everything else is pink… or purple.  Mostly pink.

So…  What is it?????  Boy or girl… (If you have me on facebook, you already know the answer…)

It’s a BOY!

Just what I thought!!  And I’m thrilled!!!  I’m really hoping this boy is going to be MY baby because Sweet Pea is such a “Daddy’s girl”.  Haha!

So anyway… the rest of the story.

We decided not to tell anyone that we looked.  I didn’t want people to think that I was weak.  Everyone was saying, “You won’t last a week!”  So… I was going to prove them all wrong….

Until… I got a text message from my mom pretty much saying that my stupid aunt has gone out and bought fabric for the baby a quilt.  The colors are girly and there are flowers, etc….  (She was so sure it was going to be a girl because of the “high heart rate”….)  *big sigh*  *shaking my head*

After a few choice words…  I told her to just tell her and I would tell everyone else.  I didn’t want my son to have some fruity looking girly quilt (even though I know it would have been a gorgeous quilt). 

So, now everyone knows.  I’m at ease now that I can start planning and buying for the baby.  Although, I am a little disappointed at myself for not being strong enough to hold out. 

I told Mr. Right that since we found out the gender this time… we have to have one more baby so I can at least go one full pregnancy without finding out!  Ha!  He’s not too thrilled about that because he’s afraid we will end up with twins…  He’s happy with two children.  I wouldn’t mind another one… or two!  But we will see…

And just for the record… We haven’t even come close to picking out a name.  I’m ready to pull my hair out over this subject.  We will decide on something… then a few days later, I will decide that it doesn’t sound right and I really don’t like it…. and then it’s back to square one… So… we will be lucky if we have something picked out before the baby gets here in December.  Ha! 

But I will say this…  when we DO pick out a name, I’m sticking to my guns on this one and NOT revealing the name until he is here!!!  :-)
