I have been informed that I haven't blogged in a while! Well, it's not because I already had my baby- it's been crazy since my last post. Lulu and I got really sick I the beginning of March, then it was Spring Break, then my sister in law and kids came to visit us, then everyone on Kinkajou Trail got sick again (my mom lives on the same street as us)!!!
When I entered my third trimester I have gotten more tired and have taken every opportunity to rest when Lulu does! I can't believe the end is near....I feel like I have been pregnant forever. My friend pretty much put things into perspective- she said- you've been pregnant almost the whole school year! And you know what.....she's right! I found out about my pregnancy after Labor Day and I'm due in a couple of weeks- just about a month left of school!!! Yikes, that makes 9 months seem verrry long when you look at it in that perspective!
Even though this pregnancy had a rough start in the beginning with the nausea and headaches and back aches in the second trimester this pregnancy has been vary special. I love how everyone is making there predictions on what I'm having. 95% believe I'm having a boy, but I think people see me with two girls so they think this one has got to be a boy?! Others say because my belly is pointy and very round. Well, my belly was the same shape with Lulu too! As I am reaching the end of my pregnancy I have been more anxious about finding out the sex of my baby! I have been so strong willed with the last two ultrasounds given during my third trimester that if I'm told to get another one I might break and say- alright just tell me what I'm having!!!!!! I'm glad I have remained strong thus far because it is going to be super exciting when that baby comes out! For a while I felt like I was having another girl, but I'm not too sure now. Tons of similarities to Lulus pregnancy, but lately a lot of differences too. We will see...

10 Reasons to Keep Your Baby’s Gender a Surprise
1. Rather than 48 frilly dresses or athletic-themed onesies (39 of which will never get worn), you get the practical, off-the-registry gifts you really need at your baby shower.
2. You can avoid lengthy diatribes about the merits of naming your baby after your grandmother Helga.
3. There is nothing like the sheer pleasure of irking your mother-in-law for nine months. (Fair disclosure: She will even the score though, once the baby is born.)
4. You get to indulge your crazy aunt’s need to play soothsayer. She’ll hang strings over your belly, read your tea leaves, or ask about particular cravings. The bonus for you? You get to talk ad nauseam about the ins and outs of your pregnancy.
5. There’s no chance of mistakenly creating a Johnny room only to find out that you actually have a Jane.
6. The waiting room will be packed with family members and friends excitedly awaiting the big announcement.
7. You won’t be disappointed if you don’t get the girl or boy your heart was set on. Gender preferences melt away as soon as you see your new baby.
8. Co-workers will be eager to open the email announcement to see not only how red-faced and pointy-headed your baby is, but to find out if they won the baby pool and beer money for the weekend.
9. You won’t need to revamp your gender-neutral nursery for numbers 2, 3, 4…
10. Great surprises are few and far between in life – this is one of the best, if not tops.
