Girl or Boy...
that seems to be the question. Although it is more important that I pray for a healthy baby with the ability to learn and love ...the gender question hangs in the back of my mind. This is most likely our last pregnancy and I guess that is why it is KILLING me to find out. ((Also had an ultrasound tech tell us at 10.5 weeks that she would venture to say it was another BOY)) It is definitely a different pregnancy than it was with the boys, but if you go by the "girl" and "boy" wives tales then I should have had 2 girls already. With the boys pregnancies I was SUPER sick until 19 weeks, had the horrible pregnancy mask, and wanted SWEETS constantly. Those things tend to be most prevalent with girls (from my research). This time I haven't been nearly as sick, no pregnancy mask, and and loving the salty-sweet combo. My doctor suggest that I have become "accustomed" to being pregnant and my body has 'gotten the hang' of it! Well I have to say that being pregnant annually since 2008 has made pregnancy my new norm. I cant remember what it was like to not be caring a little one. LITERALLY -either in my tummy or on my hip! I'm happy that God has chosen this path for our lives and am eagerly awaiting FEB 17... GENDER DAY! I have had 2 dreams where the ultrasound revealed twin boys! T W I N S .. that's right! I actually said "We just doubled our litter" in the dream! Some days I wake up and think boy just because I'm not sure Wes and I can produce PINK... and other days I just KNOW its a girl. We have a name which we will use regardless of gender. As for the middle name... who knows!?? York is 100% sure that baby is a GIRL and refers to her as baby girl or her/she. He asks me to open wide so he can "talk" to her. Perry obviously could care less and is just trying to concentrate on survival in this BOY ZONE!
I will have to admit that I have participated in the MANY outrageous gender predictors on the market. I did the Chinese gender calendar for gender which told me both boy and girl... 2 different sites! Then I did the wedding ring on the string held over your belly which circled. When I researched what the circling meant I found 2 websites -one that said girl and the other boy. In a moment of hormonal weakness I bought the CVS gender predictor that indicated....
And have taken a million gender quizzes online that seem to all have this result....
As you can see I have NOTHING definitive but all of this things were FUN. It makes Wesley crazy that I am so psycho about it and he just wishes I would quit talking about it for at least 10 min. I think every time we sit down for dinner I say "So what do you think deep down?" because with both boys he was always convinced they were MALE... and look he was RIGHT! At first he said girl and now has changed to BOY. I am still on the fence but deep down think BOY... maybe because that is all I know. The weeks fly by so the gender revelation is not to far away. Don't expect a "gender revelation" party from this momma! (nothing against them... it just isn't my style) I like to find out with my sweet hubby and share the news with the boys in an intimate setting and not find out with a crowd. Just personal preference I guess... So I pray that God will give me peace regardless and continue to ask him to form this gift perfectly with not only 10 fingers and 10 toes but a mind that is curious, eyes that see his beautiful world, and ears that can hear all of the loving words being spoken to him/her. ((and... maybe to throw in one of Wesley's dimples)) hehe! Until then I will live in comfort knowing that God has chosen the perfect little person to grow and flourish in my womb and I couldn't be any more blessed or happier.
