Boy or Girl?
I'm pregnant! I feel like I have been waiting a long time to finally write that:) Silas and I are very excited about this baby, and can't wait for July to roll around so we finally get to meet him/her! I haven't been feeling the greatest lately, but I guess that's just part of it. Hopefully it will go away soon and I will get my energy back. I am definitely ready for the "feel good" part of pregnancy:)
So once we started telling people, the advice has just come rolling in! The majority of it is greatly appreciated, some of it, not so much! I have really enjoyed hearing everyone's stories and memories from their pregnancies, as long as they dont freak me out!! I worry way to much anyway, so it does not help to hear the trauma stories. This has definitely been an interesting experience so far, being my first pregnancy and not knowing what to expect. I have wonderful friends and family who have really encouraged me along the way though.
My pregnancy has sparked some interesting conversations at work, so I thought I would throw a few of them out there for anyone to respond to if they want.
1) Do you want to find out what sex it is before it's born?
My answer....yes! Im way to anal not to know:)
2) Have you done any home tests to see what sex it is? (I guess like the Drano test and whatnot)
My answer....no, at least not yet. I figure it might be fun to see if these things really work though!!
3) Do you have any feelings one way or the other on what sex it is?
My answer.....NO. This is the part that is interesting to me. Several different people at different times have told me they think they know what Im having even before talking to me and asking what I want. It kind of weirds me out, but at the same time, who knows. So my big question is, what do you think we will have??? Im just interested to see what "feelings" people are having, and if they go along with what the others have already said!! I would also like to know of any other home tests to determine the sex that I might try just for fun too, and if it worked for you!
Thank you to all those out there loving us and supporting us on this amazing journey. We truly appreciate every thought, prayer, email, and funny story we have received so far. And the maternity clothes!!

It is so exciting to open your blog and see this post!
We tried the Drano thing, twice, and it worked. I think it'd be interesting to try it more than once, but at different times. I'm a bit skeptical.
I'm praying for you and for Silas, too. This is such an exciting time, and it's only the beginning.
I love you so much, and am so excited for you guys! ~Dee
oh my gosh, you're going to be a mommy!!! CONGRATULATIONS! We're so excited for you guys! I have no Drano advice since I have no idea what you guys are talking about... but I can tell you from the only having a sister experience in life (like you) it's awfully fun to have a little man in the house :) God bless you guys!
What is it with the ChiO sponsors? I told Sally she'd better not drink the Searcy water! I'm so happy for you guys. And while I can't give any pregnancy advice, I'd love to chat with you about general baby stuff. And as for boy or girl, I'm thinking girl ... that way ChiOs is 2 & 2 ... but if it's a boy, it just means one more potential suitor for Corban. Again, congrats!
