Boy or Girl?

We find out a week from this Friday, November 14th, if we are having a boy or a girl.

Now, if you had of asked me 3 months ago what I wanted, I would have told you very affirmatively that I wanted a girl. And here is one reason why:

I have sweet sugar plum visions of a darling little girl in her cute little dresses, playing dolls and sipping tea with Mommy. I'm just in love with the idea.

However, things have changed. The first time we saw baby on the sonogram it was amazing, then we heard baby's heartbeat and that was amazing. You would think this would be enough to connect me to the child but alas it wasn't until I began to feel the baby inside that I really felt like this was really happening. And I have to say, that now that it seems "real" it doesn't matter to me anymore. I have a baby coming in 4 1/2 months and I'm going to love and adore it no matter what it is. As a matter of fact I've found a beautiful fabric for a boys room.

I know God will give us what we need, I've learned He never gives us what we want unless it is in line with what He knows we need. So boy or girl -- who cares!

I can't wait to find out though! I'm SO tired of people "predicting" the sex of my child. I don't know how people don't find out and have to listen to all these wives tales for 9 months. I have literally had one person walk up to me and tell me I'm having a girl because I'm carrying the weight all around and another woman tell me I'm having a boy because I'm carrying the weight all around. And how about the lady that says I'm having a boy because I've already felt it so early - the same lady that said 8 weeks ago I was having a girl because the heartbeat was fast.

I'll let you know next week!
