Today we find out the gender of the baby!!! I honestly think it's a girl. Not because of anything specific like if my belly is high or low or anything like that, but just 99% of my dreams I see a girl. I haven't told Blake much about my dreams because I don't want to make sway him either way or get his hopes up. Most of my dreams are about miscarrying anyway, so that's super fun. Today at the OBGYN appointment I'm just hoping for a super healthy, wiggly baby no matter what the gender.
I always thought it was so vague when moms were like "as long as the baby is healthy I don't care what it is." And while I totally understood it at the time, I was like, seriously, I know you have a preference at this point. Now that I'm pregnant and I get to find out the gender and people ask me the same thing, I say we're hoping for a boy, but as long as it's healthy, we'll be just as excited either way. It's so stressful having to worry about someone else now! Blake can take care of himself. He takes care of his inhalers, he let's me know when he's injured or sick, he eats healthy and takes care of his body, so it's super weird for me to have to worry about someone's health other than my own.
Blake thinks it's a boy. He would love a little football buddy. Either way, even if it's a girl, they're going to be into football. You can't be brought up in a football-obsessed house like ours and end up not liking it *knock on wood*.
I can't wait to see the baby again. Even if they can't tell the gender I just can't wait to see how it's growing and developing.
On a side note, my mom always keeps up on all the department store sales and she came into work today and said Sears is having a huge sale, so we're going today at lunch. She asked what time my OBGYN appointment was so we can shop for baby clothes but it was after work, later this evening. She was bummed about it, but her solution was "we'll just buy BOTH!!" haha I love my mom.
Latest cravings: anything with hotdogs - pork & beans with hotdogs, chili dogs, plain hotdogs (without ketchup), steak, anything with pasta and jolly ranchers (luckily Halloween just passed, so I've got lots of hard candies to choose from).
