Finding Out the Sex

So M and I are in a debate about finding out what the sex of this baby is. With Rex we decided it was better to find out since we only had three months to plan for everything. With this one I really want it to be a surprise. M wants to find out.


I want a surprise because with Rex everything worked out find even though he came out a boy instead of a girl like they said. I see no reason to find out what we are having. We have almost all the baby stuff we need, except for a new stroller and a car seat. I don't see a need to know and think that keeping it for a surprise (as long as the baby cooperates with us) will just add to the birth experience. I remember the surprise of Rex being a boy and how fun it was to find out when he came out. It was also fun in that case because he was born the day before April Fools day and no one wanted to believe that we were telling the truth.


M doesn't really have a reason for finding out. He just wants to know. I know that it will be some extra work to get both our girl and boy baby clothes cleaned and folded and ready to go. (Yes we have both already. We didn't get rid of everything that was bought for Rex when we thought we were having a girl). But still how much work is it really to wash and fold maybe two loads of laundry? 


What are your thoughts? Did you wait and be surprised or did you have to find out? Why did you choose what you chose? Have any advice one way or the other? Help us figure out this debate because neither one of us is backing down on our sides.

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.  I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.  Granny and Great Po...
