Usually, I mope about Sunday nights. I dread the alarm clock in the morning and resent how quickly I fall asleep these days. (I miss being able to be productive late into the night- typing, folding clothes, sewing hems, reading. These days I can start yawning up a storm as early as 7 o'clock. Really!) This weekend has been great though and I am counting the days until Thursday. We went on a baby shopping trip yesterday. The most fun I have ever had shopping!!! I saw so many cute things, but without knowing girl or boy I had to resist. Just 4 more days. 4 more days and hopefully we will be able to find out exactly who we are shopping for. Until then, I keep hearing 1 question- "What do you want?". At this point, I really don't know anymore. Let me just think for a minute about what fun each one will bring (and maybe what trouble).
Girl-
I'll have hair to fix and outfits to match and nails to paint.
We can have matching aprons and bake cookies.
I will have a little girl to give my Barbies and Barbie house to.
Mommy/daughter talks
Pink anything!
We would have a little girl to love her daddy like I love mine.
Boy-
Our next babies will have a big brother. Personally, I would rather have a big brother over a big sister.
None of the drama that comes with girls. I don't know girls grow out of it to be honest. :)
I can dress our baby like a little gentleman.
One day I can decorate with all those cute rustic robot decorations I love at Target so much.
Someone to watch Transformers with his daddy.
Little boys and their mommies is one of the sweetest things.
Honestly, I just can't think of much. Both have their moments. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Both can accomplish so much and both can play and be played with when they are little. Boy or girl, they will have their own personality and characteristics. Either one will be loved every day- good or bad days. I just don't know. I really think either one will be a wonderful edition to our family. In the meantime though, if they would like to kick Mommy a little harder, I am totally up for it. Everything I read says in between now and the next 6 weeks I should feel whoever this is inside of me. Sometimes I actually think I do, but I want so much to be certain.
So basically, I can not be depressed about the end of this week because-
A. This week (while pretty amazing) was nightmarish where poor driving conditions and early morning text messages from work were concerned.
B. I got to catch up on some sleep yesterday morning and still had time to buy some baby accessories.
C. Monday is one more day out of the way to finding out what name I can start using when I talk to Little Bit.

So exciting! I think it would be too hard to pick between a boy and girl. Sometimes I say a girl because their clothes are so much cuter and others I think I want a little mama's boy! Can't wait to hear what it is!
