Finding Out Tomorrow!

Well, tomorrow is the big day! I have been VERY aware that for over a month now there was the ability to know this baby's gender through an ultrasound. I have been so excited to find out!!!

New pink clothes or cute blue clothes that I love so very much???

How I feel: I really would be happy either way. I want a daughter... someday. I also LOVE Henri's boyness and would really be so happy with another sweet baby boy. So, why am I so anxious to find out? I don't know, but I am.

Also, I am not bothered that my doctor usually likes to wait this long because when we had Henri's ultrasound at 18.5 weeks there were some spots on his heart that I didn't enjoy worrying about for a month before we had another ultrasound to see that they were gone. Hopefully waiting this long will eliminate situations like that.

I can't help but groan, however, when I read other pregnant women's blogs that say: baby (boy or girl) coming at the end of March! What? This baby is coming in the middle of February!

This pregnancy has been different from Henri's. I have been much more sick. (I am doing so so much better now, by the way! I am so relieved and grateful! About 18.5 weeks was when things started calming down this time.) Another difference is that I think that my stomach is actually smaller this time. I carried so far out with Henri- I was huge. This time I must be carrying closer to my body. Every single person who has ventured a guess has said girl. I don't know if they have taken into account that this time, not only have I been trying to keep up with Henri, but also that I just lived through Houston's hottest summer...ever. Really, I do think that the heat really exacerbated my symptoms. Thankfully, tomorrow will be in the 70's. I plan to spend all day outside! (Except for the ultrasound, of course!)

I am feeling like knowing the gender will help me get into the next phase of this pregnancy: I can think about names, I can think about clothes, I can think more about how things will be between Henri and this new little one. I can let myself dream a little more about everything.
