    Pink Be Gone!

    We're in the process of moving our 2 year-old upstairs to his new room before #3 comes.  Right now, I just finished painting his walls and ceiling blue, covering over the yellow walls with pink rosebuds on them (formerly the previous owner's daughter's room).  It's not bothering me one bit to paint over it.  It's ugly!  I'm loving the new blue!!!  Can't wait to paint over the yucky "Pepto Bismo" pink walls next with my "Mint Gelato" Martha Stewart paint.

    I feel like at some point over the last few weeks, I have made my peace.  My big U/S is August 14th, and I really feel like I will be ok to hear "boy" again.  I know my husband doesn't believe this, but I do.  Honestly, I haven't even really thought that much about the U/S.  

    I think probably what I dread the most is telling others "It's another boy" and hearing the comments...  Hmm

    Ya, I do remember telling people was the hardest...almost like I had "failed"....but it's not about them...it's about you, and your dear little family, and their precious souls, boy or girl....

    I admire your strength and peace.  Just the same, I have said a little prayer for a little girl for you.  Sharing the news made it much harder for me.  If you don't mind, might I give a little unsolicited advice?  What about telling people you're not finding out?  Even though you will know, it's none of anyone else's business.  Then, when the baby comes, all you will get is congratulations...not condolences (like I continue to get).  I still recommend finding out for yourself, so that if by chance the GD comes you can deal with it during the pregnancy and not during post-partum.  Just my two cents.  Best of luck to you either way.  HUGS.
