Pink or Blue?


Dare I say I am more anxious for this gender ultrasound than I was with Kendall.  I think that it's because with Kendall I wanted a girl.  I never had a feeling that she was a girl but I couldn't have imagined the tech telling me she was a boy.  I wanted a girl so badly that I bought girl clothes before we knew.  So when they said "it's a GIRL!" I was just like, "well of course it is!".

This time I really have no expectations. I have no super strong feeling one way or another and I really don't "want" one gender over the other.  If I had to pick I'd say a slight part of me feels like it's a boy more than a girl but it's not that strong of a pull.  

I think either way will be amazing and great in it's own way.  I think of a girl and I think of sweet sisters. I think of a new baby girl wearing all of Kendall's old clothes.  I think of our girl name, which I love oh so much.  I think of "my girls".

When I think of a boy I think of how new and fun and exciting it all would be, something different.  I think of Jimmy and how much he would love to teach a son all of the things he loves.  I think of my dad and he'd get to have the son he never had.  I think of the cute new nursery we could decorate {a girl will get Kendall's nursery stuff}.

So, no matter what I'm happy, obviously.  The main thing here is a happy, healthy baby. Period. 

In honor of the big reveal {which will come next week} I thought it'd be fun to see what all the old wives tales are saying.  I did this with Kendall and they were all over the place but it was still fun.  So crazy to think how clueless I am right now and how in just a few hours I'll know. That boggles my mind.  

Without further ado...here's what the "signs" say.

Wedding Ring Test= Girl
No Morning Sickness= Boy
Chinese Gender Chart= Girl
Carrying Low= Boy
Mayan Method {mother's age & year of conception}= Boy
Mother's "Intuition"= Boy
Cold Feet= Boy
"Chest Development"= Girl
Garlic Test= Boy
Mild Acne= Boy

Wow...these are far more one-sided than they were when I was pregnant with Kendall.  Only a little longer before we know if we'll have a baby brother or baby sister for Miss Kendall.

  1. Yaaay!!! Can't wait!!! Is Kendall asking for a boy or a girl? Or does she not have a preference?

  3. I am thinking boy, but who knows?! I think when I'm pregnant someday, I don't want to find out the sex of the baby. It's the only real surprise in life and I think it would be fun not to know!

  6. I think I think it's a girl. But I'm not 100%. I'll try to make my mind up by the big day! Either way, he or she will be just precious, just like KP! I hope this week GOES SUPER FAST FOR YOU!!!!

  9. The ring test was right for me. When I was pregnant with the blighted ovum my friend tried to do the ring test and it didn't move at all. I totally had this I'm going to have a miscarriage feeling. So freaky!

  10. I'm going to have to look some of these tests & try them out for myself. I really don't have a feeling either way abt my little one. A boy would be great for my husband the outdoorsman. But a girl would be fun too. I'm just enough girly girl but I like to hunt & fish too.

    A little boy would shut my MIL up who just KNOWS it's a girl & has already started her name list.
