Hi kiddo...I think you are mocking me. I think you were plotting against me on the ultrasound and put your finger in a place to make you look like a boy to throw me off guard. Last night, I dreamt twice that you were a girl. In one dream, Dr. Bonebrake had just delivered you and he said "It's a girl." Then, later, I dreamt that you were older - like a teenager and your dad & I were talking about our daughter. At this point, I have no idea if you are a boy or a girl. It really doesn't matter to me but later on down the road, we would like to know so we can plan how to decorate your room and what the heck to name you.
Speaking of delivery, I watched a few videos yesterday on the internet of babies being delivered. Even at 34, I don't know that I had ever seen a birth. Even on TV, they blur out a lot of the picture. These internet videos did not. I also made your dad watch them - we need to desensitize him so he doesn't pass out when you are delivered. We learned a few very important things that I will share with you. 1) No doubt about it that we will have an epidural. I had a passing (very brief, less than a second) thought of trying it natural. We watched one natural and one epidural. We agreed unanimously that we will have an epidural. 2) I didn't care if we have a c-section - I figured that it would be planned, least painful and got me 2 extra weeks off work. But, after watching the videos, I would prefer not to have a c-section. The recovery looks much easier for natural birth than CSection.
That is about it from outside the womb!
