Gender Debate

I think it's no secret which sex I'm hoping for in this baby. Not that I have any control over it, but I would love another girl. If the baby is a boy, i will be just as happy, but for Gemma's sake (and for mine, as i can save a lot of money on clothes and toys if it's another girl), a girl sure would be nice. One of the reasons for having them so close together was in the hopes that they would also be good friends growing up (of course i expect fighting, however, and sibling rivalry, but that's no matter what age and what gender, right?) and i think the chances of that increase if they were both girls.

Jesse is hoping for a boy, but again, he would be thrilled with another girl like Gemma. It must be a guy thing. 

mind you, i am super curious to know what kind of a little boy we make. what he would look like... who he would take after more... etc... and of course, the most important thing is that this baby is happy and healthy and that's REALLY all that matters...

so we can't wait til we can find out, which is the last week of Feb/first week in March. But already I've gotten flack for wanting to find out. I don't know why some people don't think it's as much of a surprise if you find out beforehand. or that it takes the fun out of it. Um. Trust me. It's still a surprise and it's still fun. Maybe even FUNNER because you have months beforehand of shopping for all things blue/pink, not having to resort to just green and yellows. And what is it any of your business anyway? Oh, you didn't find out when you were pregnant? Good for you! I would never criticize your decision to wait, so why are you criticizing mine? 

and the worst part is, THIS IS MY SECOND BABY. We found out with Gemma, so you would think this wouldn't come as such a shock... 

oy vay. Either way, I can't wait to know what it is!
