Gender Specific

Today is the day I've been waiting for for months. Pretty much ever since I found out I was pregnant. This morning I went in for my ultrasound! If you've never witnessed an ultrasound before, let me tell you, they are soooooo amazing! Everything was so clear. We could see arms and legs and parts of the brain. We could see the heart beating and other organs. Everything was in working order and developing just right. Which is quite a relief!

And most importantly we could tell the gender.

It seems that a little baby boy will be coming to our home in August! Now, as much as I was hoping for a girl, it really wasn't a surprise that it is a boy. My mother-in-law has been thinking it's a boy from the day we told her. And I did this Chinese horoscope type of thing that said it was going to be a boy and if you know anything about the Chinese, they are DEAD ON about things like that. I don't know how - it's a little bit freaky. So we're very happy and excited for this new information.

One thing that is making me crazy though is all the people telling me boys are so much easier than girls. For as many people that think that I'm sure there is an equal number that think girls are easier. Including my mother. Personally, I just think it depends on the temperament of the child. I've known difficult girls and I've known a lot of just as difficult boys. I think we all come to this earth with our own personality and some are just easier going than others. Some get into trouble and some stay away from mischief. It'll be interesting to see what kind of personality this little boy has. If he's anything like his parents I bet he'll be pretty stubborn!
