Waiting, waiting, tick, tock...
My wife visited the hospital yesterday for a sort of introductory session with them to prepare for the birth. She’s chosen Mercy Hospital for Women, which is what our doctor recommended. One of my wife’s best friends had her two kids there so that’s reassuring – not that you think a hospital might be dodgy, but it’s nice knowing someone has found it to be good
Among the things that were discussed and arranged at yesterday’s meeting was our next ultrasound. We’re booked on for the 20-week one on April 18th. This is the BIG one, where we find out what gender our baby is!
As I’ve mentioned before, we will find out and at this stage will share this with people. The secret we’ll keep is what name we go with, so perhaps I should start a campaign of misinformation…?
My sense of our baby’s gender has changed as we’ve gone along. I’m in no way claiming any insight or anything, just going on a hunch. Initially I thought we might be having a girl, then a couple of weeks later I thought it could be a boy, then a girl again, and now I think it’s a boy. There aren’t really any concrete reasons for these thoughts, just a vibe. And most likely I won’t be correct, but we’ll see!
A lot of people say this and I will too as it’s true – I don’t mind what gender it is, so long as it’s healthy. I will be excited either way, a boy or a girl.
I’m going to take the day of that ultrasound off, our scan is mid-morning and so afterward we’re going to go looking at clothes and other items that are a little more gender-specific.
I am finding it increasingly difficult to wait patiently for the baby to arive, I want to cuddle my little one now!
