2 weeks

today is exactly two weeks until i find out if we're having a boy or girl. the suspense is killing me! i was telling ben this weekend about how i couldn't wait, and he said, "yeah, that's the difference between us. i am perfectly fine leaving my presents under the tree until christmas. you can't wait!" that is totally true :) when i was 7 i actually remember covertly unwrapping this giant present that had been looming under the tree. it was this mystery giant, and i could not wait. i only unwrapped a small portion, enough to see what the box said, and then taped it back without my parents knowing. it's funny, i think that in general, i am a very patient person, but not with presents, or secrets, or results. i also think it's easier for men to wait on baby results because they aren't the ones who are carrying the baby! if you'd had a new person growing inside your body for 16 weeks, you would be pretty curious who they were!

obviously the other factor this time is that i have two boys, and am hoping for the possibility of a girl. i truly do trust that God knows who will best add to our family, but the past few months have been thinking about all the things i saved for "my future daughter". i think about all the things that you can only do with daughters, and i dream about being able to do those. we will see...
