Woah. Get your mind out of the gutter, not that kind of sex party. We find out the sex of little Glenn this weekend and are having a cook out with our family to celebrate! I CANNOT wait. Mikey and I are going for the "sex" ultrasound on Friday morning...but are immediately taking an ENVELOPE to the bakery and getting them to do either a cake or cupcakes for our big reveal. Think we can do it? It's going to be SO hard waiting from Friday to Sunday night for the cook out...but I really want to do something fun and we both like the idea of finding out with our families. This isn't the first rodeo on either side of the family when it comes to grandchildren...so we decided we needed something a little extra to make it fun for out little bean:)
Do you have an idea of what it is? What do you want?
First off...sorry folks, I don't buy into the whole "mother's intuition" thing with determining the sex. I have NO clue what is growing inside of me...NADA. It could be Bob or Sue and I would never know the difference. *no worries those are NOT our name choices* *no offense* I just don't get how people claim they just " know" what they are having. I don't.
Now...what do we want? I used to always roll my eyes (to myself of course) when people would say "a healthy baby...the sex doesn't matter". But, here I am ...about to find out the sex of my own little bebe (that still feels really weird to say, by the way) and I feel the SAME exact way. What else could you feel, for that matter? The thing I pray for constantly is this baby's health. That's all that really matters when it comes right down to it. But, for honestys sake...of course, Mikey and I would love to have one of each eventually. Whether that happens is up to the man upstairs, unless we decide to adopt down the road...which is NOT out of the question.
There is a big part of me that wants a boy first. That is how I grew up after all, with a big brother and I loved it (well....most of the time, when he wasn't using me as his wrestling dummy). I also want a little boy who I can be a "soccer mom" to. Hehe:) I also know my daddy would probably love a little boy, only one grandchild on my side so far...our precious Belle. Not that he doesn't absolutely adore Belle to pieces, but you know what I mean? And although I know Mikey will end up loving a little girl more than anything in this world...I know he would absolutely love to have a little boy first. He claims it's so the big brother can protect his little sister. Whatever!
There is also a big part of me that wants a girl first. More than anything...because I have this feeling that I will never have a little girl. *And yes, I know...I will love whatever I have with all my heart and I may end up a momma to 4 boys and absolutely love it....* but I just can't imagine not having a little girl to do girl things with. My mom and I are SO close...it makes me sad to think that I may not have that opportunity with a little girl of my own. I guess that's where adoption could come in:)
But, honestly. I will be happy with EITHER. I'm just ready to know! I don't really feel pregnant yet, and I just don't have that "attachment" feeling yet...so I think once we know the sex and can name this little bean that will help tremendously.
Just big prayers for a healthy boy OR girl.

That is so, so exciting. I love the idea of a gender reveal with your family. Can't wait to know if it's pink or blue!
