The Big Question....

The biggest question I've received from people is "Are you going to find out if you're having a boy/girl".

Hmmm....am I going to find out.....I honestly can say I don't know yet. I haven't been able to think much about it actually, which is why I haven't been able to decide. The summer is filled up with the boys and grad school and camp and the list goes on and on.

The second biggest question that I get is "Do you want a boy or girl?". I think I can answer that one. Do I want a boy or girl? Yes, I want both. Is that possible to want one of each? Well, it isn't possible really since (to my knowledge) I'm not having twins. I get happy and excited when I think of having a boy. I get happy and excited when I think of having a girl. So, I don't really have a good answer for that question (luckily it is only the 2nd most popular question I get:)

With my oldest, I wanted to find out but was so busy with work and my husband that I didn't even have my ultrasound till past the 24th week. With my youngest, we decided to find out when we had the ultrasound around week 20.

Even though I don't really know if we'll find out or wait, I feel like I need to at least come up with an answer for people when they ask, "Are you going to find out?". Right now when people ask (which is pretty much everyday), I just say "I don't know, maybe, I go back and forth, so probably not.....oh, I don't know". Which doesn't seem like a good answer....

The best idea I've heard so far is having the ultrasound person write the "sex" down on a piece of paper and sealing it in an envelope. Then opening that envelope at a later date with friends and family, or at a holiday, or a special day like an anniversary or birthday. I think that is what I'm leaning towards doing. I'll actually be out of town at camp when I turn 20 weeks, so I'll have my ultrasound probably after we get back at week 21 or so. Our wedding anniversary is a week or so after that, so maybe we'll open it then. Or at our family barbecue over labor day. Or on my birthday. Wow, I really haven't made up my mind. As soon as I know what we're doing, I'll have a better answer for people:)
