Peek

We got a peek at baby #2 on the ultrasound today. We decided we would have the tech write down the sex of the baby and seal it in an envelope, and reveal it to ourselves in a more fun way later on when we were ready. I have a feeling, from our appointment today, what was said and what I saw, that we’re having a girl. Which of course makes me very happy. I think having a boy would be more "exciting" right now, in the time before he was born, because it would feel like a new experience. Being pregnant with and preparing for another girl is something we’ve done already so it might not be as "exciting", but having 2 girls would be a dream come true for me. Lucy is very girly and I think she would love having a sister. I never had a sister and I would love to see that relationship grow. I already have all-things-girl, so we are prepared in that sense. So if indeed it is another girl, I am really happy. I also didn’t want my in laws to be annoying about raising boys, since they had 2 boys, and if i never have one they wont get to constantly compare. They never had girls. It would seem the slightest bit sad though that we would never experience having a boy, mostly for Paul’s sake and not mine. He would never express any disappointment over that though. He has said numerous times that if we have "2 sweeties" he will be happy. But i think he will be sad just thinking of the boy he will never get to have. My mom thinks if this baby is a girl, he would be more inclined to try for a 3rd baby to get a boy. I dont think he would, because he knows and has said thats stupid, we could easily end up with 3 girls instead and then face disappointment and feeling guilty. I think God picks our family, and gives us what we need and not what we think we want.

My mom just started texting me saying OPEN IT OPEN IT NOW NOW NOW NOW!

Haha im so tempted to just open the envelope.

Ok my mom kept texting me and i DID IT. I peeked.
