Mother's Intutition?

I thought for sure this baby was a boy. Like, 100% for sure this was a boy baby. No chance it was a girl. I even said to Jeff in the waiting room "I would be really surprised if I hear the word girl."

I attribute most of it to the drastic difference in my pregnancies. With Sophie, I was always hungry, had terrible hair, acne all over my chin and the weight gain was EVERYWHERE! This time my skin is clear, I have energy, my hair looks good and I have only gained 6 pounds thus far. Hell, as I am typing this I am wearing a regular pair of pre-pregnancy pants- regular button fly and all.

I even had Jeff convinced (although he didn't admit it until after the ultrasound) it was a boy. I just KNEW!

Well, turns out my Mother's Intuition sucks because was indeed not a boy. It was very clearly a little girl on the screen! I was shocked and thrilled at the same time. Crazy- 2 little girls. I can see it though. I totally feel like I am the mom of girls. I already like saying "My girls....". I think a part of me was hoping for another pink bundle. Mostly because Sophie has some damn cute clothes I packed away.

I remember, every time I would pack up the clothes she no longer fit in or were out of season, I got sad knowing I might never get to see those clothes again. Now, I am thrilled to pull out that 0-3 month bin and go through all the cute onesies and sleepers Sophie wore!

I think Sophie is happy too. We showed her the picture and she told the picture "I love you" and kissed it. She also didn't want to give it up so I am going to get a cheap frame so she can keep them in her room for now.

So after the excitement of the day started to wind down, reality set in. We are having a girl.

Now we actually have to name her. Shit!
