Boy or Girl?

Really, the title of this post should be “Does it have a penis?” but I thought that might get too many spammers’ attention.

We find out in just a few short weeks whether Baby Davis is a boy or a girl, and while I would much prefer this fetus to have a penis so that I can add another gentleman to the world (they are so few and far between), I am willing to bet money that it’s a girl. Why? Well, every Chinese chart, old wives tale and silly online quiz points to it. The heart rate points to a girl. Even my heart skips a beat when I think of our little girl. And it’s the girl name Drew and I can never quite agree on, which means it just has to be a girl. To top if all off, I keep referring to this little one as a she. Great.

This may all be rubbish. I may look at the ultrasound monitor and see a penis and scream out loud with joy…or I may see the lack of a penis and vow to never let my little girl go on a date (while also screaming out loud with joy, of course). It’s that simple, people.

Now, if only The Hubs would understand that you can’t learn everything you need to know about childbirth by watching the Cosby Show…

The Midi :: Your Thoughts

Tee: Gap // Skirt: Dorothy Perkins // Pumps: Pierre Dumas via Shoe Station

Why yes, that IS a shameless baby bump pic. But who cares about that, because the point of this post is for your opinion on this skirt. So many lovely ladies can style the midi just right, but is it right for me? I kinda think I need to get it hemmed a few inches so that it falls just below my knees, then wear it with a striped tank top and some flat sandals. What are you thinking?

Someday

Someday, The Hubs and I will finally find the right time to make a huge, brave leap and move to a new, amazing city. And if that city happens to be Seattle, I hope to spend my days and nights with Alida, saving the fine citizens of Capitol Hill. Case in point: Wonder Woman, Tequila and the Time We Saved Lives.

Someday, I will finally meet Joy the Baker, my first ever blog buddy. I will take her to a cheese shop and buy her a New Orlean’s daiquiri and she will convince me to get in the kitchen and bake again. We will talk about boys and cheese and cake. It will be beautiful. I may even call her Joy the Baker in real life. Is that weird? Oh, and she will bring me these, because I’m pregnant and will beat her up if she doesn’t: Mini Pretzel Dogs.

Someday, I will be more than just a gopher at work. I will actually write again. I miss writing so much. I miss thinking like a kid and writing science programs that make little ones want to be the next Bill Nye.

Someday, I will have either a little girl who wears this adorable outfit to the beach:

swimsuit, straw hat

Or a little boy who is totally stylin’ in this ensemble:

plaid shirt, sweater, jeans

My kid is gonna be so much cooler that me.

But all of that happens in the future. My only goal today is to catch the taco truck and gain some weight. Thanks to a stomach virus, I don’t look the slightest bit pregnant anymore and today is the day that I change that!

Until the future, HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!
