it's a baby!

I really can't believe that we know what gender our baby is... and I haven't even felt the baby move. Most of me was expecting a girl for some reason... probably because many people had been telling me (for various reasons) that they thought I was going to have a girl. And whenever I went to the fabric store, I ogled over fabric that would only be fitting for a girl... and the fact that the only name I was certain on and wanted to use so badly was a girl name. However, in the beginning I kept having dreams that the baby was a boy and twice I "slipped" and would call the baby "he" or "him" instead of "the baby" or "it" and Dan would question me... "so, it's a boy, huh?"... to which I would reply, "I have no idea why I said 'he'".

I was very anxious all weekend, and never before have I wanted a weekend to pass so quickly. I don't hate my job, but I would rather be doing other things 98% of the time... so weekends are precious, I never wished them away... until now.

and there you have it. my subconscious seemed to know it was a boy.

I did go to two fabric stores today... and realized even more that fabrics for boys are a lot more few and far between (at least ones that look nice... they have plenty of ugly boy fabrics). But, I managed to find some ADORABLE flannel for blankets and got some samples of what I might use for the crib bedding. I want to try and copy the bedding found HERE. They used to have fabric swatches on the site... but the navy is polka dotted with tiny white polka dots and the sheets are seen HERE. I found some navy fabric that works... now just the white & green and solid green... and I'd like to get some white with navy polka dots to accent in other ways too.

And names... we have a few in mind, but are still working on it ;)
