"Team Green"

With my first pregnancy I wanted to find out, no question! I wanted to be able to pick out pink or blue. I did make sure that all large items like pack-n-play, swing, stroller and car seat where neutral because the plan was to have 2 kids!

With this second baby, I would go back and forth about wanting to find out the sex. Then one day it just clicked. I didn't want to find out. Mainly because I think having a baby is a huge surprise. There is no window to see into my belly, so why would I spoil the surprise! This is our last, so this is my last chance to be surprised by one thing I cannot ruin!

Some friends and family think I am crazy, what with the planning that comes with a newborn baby! Others having congratulated me for the choice I have made! I am tickled. I can't wait for that moment in the delivery room "IT'S A . . . " I also can't wait for people to put their guesses in! I mean, it is a 50/50 chance of getting it right!

I plan to do a neutral nursery {check out my Pinterest Board!} Maybe I will put together an idea board like I did with Shelby! Something about putting together a nursery that excites me! I am not a fan of themed nursery. I like to design something where they can grow into it! A neutral nursery will be a challenge for me, I love color but I know that I can always add more color after baby 2 is born!

Like the above quote says, "life is too short" and I am happy I made this decision to wait to find out, because that is exactly what I want!

Did you wait?? Would you be able to? Love to hear from you!

Old Wives Takes: Baby 2

Remember last time when I grabbed a few of the old wives tales we hear about when determining the sex of an unborn baby? {click here to read my answers when I was pregnant with Shelby!} Well I am doing it again. I am grabbing the same 4 I did last time!

Also, I will not be finding out what the sex is this time around! Personal choice. I am a huge surprise spoiler and I think this is the biggest surprise I just can't spoil! But let's see what these old wives tales can tell us!

Carrying High, Carrying Low:
The general story goes that, if you're carrying low, you're having a boy. If you are carrying high, then you must be having a girl.
Myself: too early to tell, but I think I am carrying exactly like I was with Shelby. GIRL

Heartbeats:
If you're having a girl, then the fetal heart rate will be above 140. A boy will have a heart rate below 140.
Myself: Had an appointment today and heart rate was 158. GIRL

Craving Something . . . Sweet or Sour?
Craving sweet...it could be a girl. Craving sour...it could be a boy.
Myself: I think i am craving more sweet things, like fruit. GIRL

Weight Gain:
Thankfully, this one doesn't refer to your weight gain. The belief is that, if your husband puts on weight during your pregnancy, then you will be having a girl. If he doesn't put on a pound, then you're carrying a boy.
Myself/Jim: This is tough, I don't think Jim is losing or gaining. But I know he wants to lose, so BOY?


There are more, but these are the large ones. So your results are 75% GIRL and 25% BOY. Guess we won't know until October! Can't wait for that moment in the delivery room "IT'S A . . . "
