I didn't mention this in my last post, but it's SO exciting. My sister, Nene, not her real name, that lives in Atlanta with two boys is also expecting a sweet baby 8 days before me! We're 19 months apart, so we've always been super close and I feel so blessed that I get to walk through this experience WITH her! She also found out last week that she's having a GIRL!!!! I die. I literally die of excitement.
This Friday, Mister Husband and I are taking a little trip down to a 4-d ultrasound place to find out what we're having EARLY! Why are we doing this?? Easy. Two words. NURSERY PLANNING!
Now, some of my long-time followers might be thinking.... "WAIT! You already designed your nursery, like, years ago".... and you would be correct. BUT things change, AND unfortunately, some items stop being sold. So, while I still adore my original nursery plan... there have been many fun and inspiring changes that have made me SUPER excited to get started!
Here is my plan from way back in September of 2010. It's gender neutral and I still think it's super sweet... however, I have had some major changes going on in my head that I cannot WAIT to share with all of you! (But I've GOT to know the sex before I really start diving in)
So, truth be told, I'm positive I'm having a baby boy. I mean, positive. Mister Husband also thinks he's a boy as does my amazing OB. So, what do YOU think it is??? I LOVE wondering about it and would just explode with happiness with either sex-- but I do have that "motherly instinct" that I'm dealing with a super tough boy in my belly. (He's given me a lot of hell... so I'm just thinking it's a boy that's hard headed and full of passion and life- just like my precious Mister Husband!)
Now, I know that wives tales say that being sick=girl, but that's never been correct with my family and friends... so I just don't buy that! Chinese calendar says boy on one version and girl on another.... so, a big thanks to the chinese, you're of NO help. Heartbeat has been fast both times we've heard it (which is by the way THE most amazing and magical sound) but again, I don't buy that theory either! My super mom brought home her first daughter to a blue nursery and airplane sleepers because my sister Nene had a slow heartbeat!
So--- I need predictions. We can only guess and wonder what it will be for a few more days (although it feels like an ETERNITY)! So abode lovers.... lady? or lad????


Ooh, I can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful! Congrats on your sweet baby, I can't wait to see your new plan!
ReplyDeleteYour gut is probably right! There's so many females in your family it seems like y'all will all have lots of boys!
ReplyDeleteMomma's gut is almost always right I find. How exciting for you, I can't wait to hear!!! The nursery is going to be bananas of course.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you back blogging! My money is on boy too - I was sick to death with my son and everyone kept telling me it was a girl. Momma's know better - my bones told me I was having a boy. Look at it this way; he's giving you a tussle right now, but he'll owe you one and be the best baby ever!!! Glad you are feeling better :)
ReplyDeleteJust like me...had to know before the 20 weeks what we were having just so I could plan the nursery! Your gut is almost always right so you might have a lot of blue in your future!
ReplyDeleteGirl! I am thinking..... can't wait to hear
ReplyDeleteCan't wait o find out but I am guessing girl:)
ReplyDeleteI say boy!
ReplyDeletecongratulations!! but hey hey, don't knock the chinese! we've got old wives tales [and in this case calendars] too, but no one said they were accurate.
ReplyDeletecongrats! I'm three weeks behind you with what we and our doc think is a boy! very much looking forward to nursery updates! all the best :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh soooo exciting. I seriously would be so anxious to find out! A friend of mine didn't find out (I could never do this) and was SOOOOO sure it was a boy. They were shocked when it was a little girl! So hard to know. I'll say boy :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited!!! Can't wait to hear which you are having!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't morning sickness a shocker!!! With two small boys I have told my hubby no more!!! But they are so much fun
ReplyDeleteJust check out my blog on my living home tour and you will see at the end how lovely they can be !!!

I am so excited for you to be joining the motherhood group! And I think it is a lad based solely on the fact that you have a gut instinct, as did I, and I was spot on. Cannot wait to hear the news!!
