It's a.....

Probably. The stinker wouldn't quite cooperate but my doctor said she didn't see any boy parts (and neither did we) so she was saying it's a girl but making no promises. I have my actual full ultrasound 2 weeks from today so we should be able to confirm 100% that it's a girl then.

I'm actually more disappointed then I thought I'd be which is crazy becaue I really do want a daughter. I was just hoping that #2 would be a boy so Adam would have a brother to grow up with. But, a girl is wonderful and she and Adam will still be good friends as they grow up. The other issue is that we have to start from scratch with girl clothes. And decide where to put her! We either have the kids share a room or we convert our office into a bedroom and then have no where for our computer and bookcases to go. I'm choosing to not dwell on anything until 2 weeks from now when I am SURE it's a girl. I don't even know if I can start calling the baby a girl yet. It's already abstract enough thinking about the alien inside me that you can hardly feel at this point so giving it a gender and even a name seems too strange right now.

So although I wished I was overjoyed and excited....I need a couple weeks to digest! I do remember feeling this way when I found out Adam was a boy so I'm not all that surprised. I guess I'm one of those people who needs time to get used to something new!
