Boy or Girl???

Well I am just over 18 weeks pregnant. Boy time has certainly passed us by with this pregnancy. In some ways I feel a little guilty that I haven't taken as much time to really focus on baby#2. We are really excited about it and since I haven't been sick this round, I guess we just go about our regular day to day duties/activities. In fact I am always surprised when I go to my doctors and hear our little baby's heart beat, I'm like "oh yeah, I guess I have something growing inside of me". But with each passing week and with my waistline slowing expanding, I am getting more into this pregnancy. I guess in some ways I am trying to really focus on Tristen and enjoying this special time with her...one on one. It makes me a little sad to think my little girl is growing up and will no longer be the baby of the family. However, I get really excited about all the fun things we will get to do with Tristen when she gets a bit older and bigger. I'm already getting excited about this year's Easter egg hunt I'm planning for her, I'm a big fan of Easter. Also I think this pregnancy will become even more real to us when we find out what we are having, which is in one week. Yes, I booked an ultrasound appt. for Jan. 28th. Hopefully we will find out what we are having that day all going well (as long as baby cooperates). I'm not sure what I am having...hmmm, part of me is thinking that it might be a boy (going on gut instinct), however I am very open to a girl. In fact, I would love Tiristen to have a little sister to be close to and I'm not going to lie, I would love another little shopping partner :). I love little girls and dressing them up. Boys, although it would be a new experience raising one, sounds like fun as well. Jason and I would always take a few minutes while we were on walks in our old neighborhood and watch the young boys play in little league baseball. I used to really enjoy playing sports, still do but time, a 17 month old, and pregnancy haven't always permitted me to do so, but I would welcome the opportunity to get back in the sports scene. I would love to coach my boy(s)/kids athletic teams or teach them how to play some sports. Well I guess only time will tell what our new addition will be. It is our only hope and wish that new baby will be healthy and that all will be well with baby #2.

okay-so i know you don't care what you get, but let me just tell you what i think you should have. since i have all boys-you don't want a boy!!! therefore that leaves only the girl to have. besides what could be more fun than 2 shopping buddies. can't wait to hear what you are having. good luck!!!
