Tomorrow is the big day. Tomorrow we find out if it’s a boy or a girl, and begin to call it by it’s given name (which MAY be divulged when I let ya’ll know about the sex of the baby).

This morning I called to ask what time I need to be in, and she said, “2:30, but we had some early morning cancellations, would you be interested?” I seriously debated, but would have to come back to work afterwards and honestly, I’d rather just go home with Paul after the appointment. WELL, we’re actually going to my hometown’s Farmer’s Market to meet up with a friend of mine- she has a booth selling onesies (Jackapotamus- seen here!) and has been drilling me about the sex of the baby. Now I’ll finally be able to pick up a onesie for our little one, there are sooo many patterns and prints I can’t imagine which one to get. There are MANY, MANY more at her booth and her shop on Main Street in Santa Monica.

So tomorrow the baby stops being an “It” and becomes “She” or “He”.

Any guesses as to what the baby will be?

I’m going to go ahead and guess “BOY”.

That’s right, I’m at 20 weeks- finally! This weekend was a flurry of random stuff- enjoying my husband, grocery shopping, long walks- making kickass pancakes. I did a lot (WE) and spent the whole weekend doing something. I don’t know if I was trying to keep busy or what, but man, I was sore yesterday from doing so much crap!

It’s hard to believe I’ve been consciously pregnant for 16 weeks- sixteen weeks of worrying, panicking, vomiting, and back and forth regarding names. The baby is still referred to as “he”, something we’ll be able to either remedy or continue doing tomorrow, at our 20 week anatomy scan.

Lately I’ve been feeling a lot of movement, what I determine to be kicks of some sort. The other night I was poking around in there trying to see if I could feel anything and stopped. Moments afterwards I felt some nudges and a thump. It’s crazy! Still, I’ll be happy when I see the little guy and know all is well.
