So here's the thing about my family. I have only one sister and five brothers.
Here's the thing about my husband's family. He has only one sister and six brothers.
Needless to say, we both grew up in male-dominated households (remember when I wrote about how boys are better to grow up with?).
So the question is - what will our little apple be? Will it continue the male dominance and be a boy? Or will it break tradition and be a little girl?
We have an ultrasound on Saturday, and I'm so excited for the chance to find out what our little baby is! I'm only 16 weeks though, and I have this feeling that we'll be told the baby's sex with only a 75 or 80% chance, and then it will turn out to be the opposite of what they predicted. That would totally drive me crazy. I think I'd rather not know unless they're sure!
Okay fine, I'd rather know, even if they're not sure :)
My husband and I feel like it's a girl - which probably guarantees that it will be a boy :) I'm always wrong about these types of things. We did all those hilarious midwives tales to see what we're having, and according to that, we're having some sort of cross-gender alien. It's fine.
So cast your votes on my sidebar!
Moms out there - can you trust the ultrasound tech if they say it's an 80% chance? I feel like I've heard so many stories otherwise.
**Also of note: My husband works with 14- and 15-year-old boys at church, and one of them gave us a list of acceptable gender-neutral names. Tomm, Blanket, Quartz, and Abstinence are my favorites. Also, he won't come to church again if we don't choose a name from the list, sooo..... Blanket it is!
