Do You Know What You’re Having?

Yes, actually. Yes,I do know. I am having a BABY! I think right now, others are more interested in the gender of the ever growing baby in my belly than I am. I have been too stressed out with multiple doctor’s appointments, dealing with pregnancy complications, and still trying to live the rest of my life. Don’t get me wrong, I am very excited to know, but it doesn’t change the fact that my focus is on having a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby to bring home sometime late December or early January. I was actually on Team Green (Don’t find out until the delivery room) until my husband (and my mom, to some extent) talked me out of it due to timing. All that to say, we will know SOON!

Short sidebar – we went to the specialist in Oklahoma City yesterday and got to see Baby again! (Still no crotch shot as requested BY US!) Baby is doing great. Still measuring a bit on the small side, but growing steadily. There was no mention of “the spot” so we are thinking that is gone now (God is SO GOOD!), and according to the Doctor, “Everything looks good!” It is still so amazing to see the heartbeat on that huge screen! Incredible! And, we don’t have to go back unless our doctor here wants another growth screen done at 30 weeks – I will find out about that next week.

On Sunday, the Dream Weavers will know if Baby is a “Shcoker” or a “Shockerette.” We are so ready to know, so we can answer the tiring age old question, “Do you know what you are having yet?” It will also be fun to start referring to the Baby by name (no – not yet), planning the “nursery” (north wall of my bedroom), and feeling more connected to him or her. And, we want to get YOU involved, too, so I am having a little contest here on my blog!

Do you have a guess? Are you Thinking Pink or are you on Team Blue? I want to know – and there is the possibility some swag in it for you if are right! So, post away my friends! Comment here on this post, and I will pick one winner from the right team (Team Pink or Team Blue) and award you with a $15 Amazon.com gift certificate! Here are the rules:

• · One guess per reader

• · You must “sign” your post somehow so you are identifiable. If you insist on posting as “anonymous,” you must use a name somewhere in the post so I know who you are

• · You must guess by commenting HERE ON THE BLOG under this post – guesses on Facebook or Twitter won’t count for the contest

• · All entries are due by 12 midnight CST on Saturday, August 27, 2011

• · The winner will be chosen from the pool of correct guesses by random.com

• · I will post the winner of the contest on Monday, August 29, 2011

• · This is a simple contest on a simple blog. If someone tries to make it too complicated, I will simply rescind the whole thing. PLAY NICE and have fun!

So, get to guessing! I can’t wait to see what you all think! And, I am excited to find out for myself on Sunday!
