I have been so spoiled throughout my pregnancy by my friends, Amy & Brandie, who are also OB/GYN’s. Since the time I found out it was official, they have been doing weekly ultrasounds to check on my little baby which has been such a blessing for me because I have been so scared that something will happen and I would lose it for whatever reason. Luckily, that hasn’t happened and I have found there is nothing more reassuring than seeing your baby every week and knowing everything is progressing normally. I cannot thank them enough for how much this has meant to me; I feel so blessed to have them as my friends as well as my health care providers! I have felt much more secure since we passed the milestone of the first trimester and I’m now into my second. Last Wednesday, Amy called and said she had a little time to take a peek, so I went and she still couldn’t tell 100% the gender, but thought we would potentially know today. Jason is doing surgery cases this morning, so once he’s finished we’re going to run by and let Amy check if we can tell today. I am so excited about finding out. I have cleaned out one of our guest rooms which will now be a nursery. I patched holes and retouched paint so it feels like I’m getting a clean slate to start from. I also have removed all of the stuff from the other guest room and intend on redecorating that room with the combined stuff. I’m sure I’ll have leftover things, so I’m sure I will be able to redo the laundry room as well. At the moment, it looks like the Tasmanian devil has gone through my house and destroyed it, but there is method to my madness. I decided to take a gender predicting quiz online that uses old wives tales to determine the baby’s sex. Here’s one that I found and took with the outcome…we’ll hopefully know today if it’s correct!

You have a 34% chance of having a boy. And you have a 65% chance of having a girl. My little brother, Adam, says he’s certain it’s a boy and he’s never wrong with the exception of his prediction for Jamie’s baby. He said he was pretty sure she was having a girl, and she has one of the most boyish boys on the planet, Samuel! We’ll see if the test is right or Adam!
