Full disclosure upfront - I am an incredibly impatient person! I talk fast, I work fast, I like an immediate response. I could never fall asleep as a kid on Christmas Eve and when a birthday present came in the mail I opened it right away, even if my birthday was a week away. All that said, not knowing the sex of my baby is starting to drive me crazy! First of all I am getting tired of saying "the Baby" or "it". My nephew started using the term "Him/Her" and I think it's adorable - but it's a mouthful. I have found myself saying "her" and "she" just to use a pronoun. So now I am starting to envision a girly future - but what if it's a boy?! I truly would be happy either way I just want to know which path I am on. We have a doctor's appointment on Friday and if the little one cooperates hopefully we'll have answer. I really admire women who can wait til the delivery to find out, but I can barely hold on until the end of the week. Did you find out the sex of your baby? How did knowing or not knowing change your pregnancy?
Not much else to report this week. Sleeping is starting to become a little tricky. I am having crazy dreams and apparently I am starting to talk in my sleep (that could get very interesting!) I wake up a lot in the middle of the night and it's hard to get/stay comfortable. Husband scored major points when he came home with the Snoogle! It's really helped me - and I bet it's helped him get a better night's sleep, too! Speaking of my darling Husband, I can not express how amazing he has been! He's always been a pretty laid back guy, but in the last few weeks he's mastered the art of being cool, calm and collected. I have had some crazy mood swings and there are times when I can barely stand to be around myself, but he takes it all in stride. I say it all the time, but I can't say it enough - I feel so lucky to have his love, friendship and support. I love my partner in crime! :)

I think an exercise in patience will be a good lesson for you and your unborn him/her. Think of it in the same way as reading while pregnant.
Also you could give him/her a nickname that relates to how you feel about having a baby or something you know youll always associate with this time.
Dont go with 'oops'......i never got over that one.

We didn't find out.. X 3! I project so much, that i was really afraid that finding out the gender would lull me into the sense that I had some idea what was about to hit me - and even after (especially after?) one, I knew that much: I would have no idea who this person was or how this person would affect our lives until he/she arrived.
It was also stubbornness - so many people responded with "oh, you'll change your mind! you'll have to find out!" or "I bet you know and aren't telling!" (a deeply weird response from a stranger who, no, I would NOT have told). I didn't regret it - but everyone needs something different to settle them during this.
We called them "bean," "sprout," and "peapod." Bean and pPod stuck as nicknames - "bean" during babyhood and pPod - well, you know that one! He still is -
You are a true fast paced new yorker. I know I would want to know the sex of my baby and my husband would say it's cuz I'm nosey. I am. Kudos to hubby for being a trooper. Can't wait to hear if it's a him or a her!
So you didn't get the intelligender huh? I'm pretty sure I'll be trying that at 10 weeks!! lol
lol - I totally understand - the wait must be killing you! :) I always thought I would wait, but now I really don't care and would like to know. But, I probably won't know for another two months! (I'm only in week 12 now)
Good luck and let us know what you find out!
