Boy or Girl? Yes, Definitely
Tomorrow is my mid-pregnancy ultrasound. Husband's got the day off work, so we'll put in the house offer following the appointment. The pressing matter is: should we find out the baby's sex?
We had planned to be surprised with Bridget. At that appointment, the tech said, "It's a good thing you don't want to know because the legs are crossed and I couldn't tell you anyways." So then of course I was dying to know. By the end of the appointment she had uncrossed her legs, and I just had to find out. Plus with a first baby, it was nice to be able to plan a few things girly.
This time around, there's not really any planning. All the nursery decor is gender neutral, and we have all sorts of clothing that would work for a girl or a boy. The only planning related thing I can think of is picking out the name, which we're already having some trouble with. I also enjoyed being able to think of Bridget as having an identity, not just being a sexless "it." But since I feel so strongly that it's a boy, I'm not having that issue this time around.
If you know me, you know that I've spoiled every surprise ever intended for me. I feel like I could go the distance and not find out, but I might slip at the appointment and find out anyways. Hopefully Husband can keep me in line.
