"Pretty Sure"

Although the doctor said he was "pretty sure" it was a girl, he also said there is "always a chance he is wrong." He said he's been wrong before, but "not too many times." Hum...that's reassuring right?

I also talked to a couple people who said they were told it was a girl at 20 weeks and at their last ultrasound (34-36 weeks) they found out it was a boy. That being said, I'm debating if I can contain myself and not buy all the adorable girl things that are out there until closer to the due date!

If you know me, you probably know I'm a planner. Waiting until the month before to get the nursery ready and buy clothes, just isn't my style. However, the thought of having a cute girlie room and then having to re-do/re-buy/return things doesn't sound very fun either.

I've found someone who makes awesome custom crib bedding, but obviously it can't be returned. So, I'm contemplating painting the walls yellow and making the bedding fairly neutral (greens/yellows) and then adding pink and cute girly touches to the quilt. Then if this baby surprises us, we just need a new quilt!

Marcus can't believe how much time I've put into thinking about all this, but come on, that is what nesting is all about isn't it? :)

One quick funny story before I go. Last night Marcus brought up the fact that he's been "thinking of all the fun things you can do with a girl." I was expecting something along the lines of "dressing her in an Illinois cheerleader outfit" - but much to my amusement he started with "take your daughter to work day." I laughed so hard my side hurt (bad) and I'm pretty sure he didn't even get to the second example. He's so funny. I just love him. :)
