Is it a boy...is it a girl?

Next most often question I get is, "Do you think it's a boy or a girl?."  In the very early stages of pregnancy I had a "feeling" it's a girl but as time has passed I now think it's a boy.  But I'm not sure if I really think that or everyone else has convinced me of that.  Everyone around me seems to think it's a boy.  All of my co-workers say it's a boy and them being nurses they must be right...right?  The exception being, Noelle, who said from the beginning it's a girl;  But she also says she always wrong.  The most convincing co-worker I have is this older lady who has as much wisdom as the Oracle; we call her Ms. Poe.  She has 5 children and 11 grandchildren and says she always knows the sex of babies in utero.  She was the second person at work I told because I knew she would be soooo happy.  Ms. Poe has lectured me, lovingly, just about everyday for that last year or so saying, "It's time to make baby."  Nothing makes her more happy than family and all she wants for me is to experience the happiness she gets from her family.  For the first few weeks she would look at me and say, "I'm not sure yet."  Then just last week she says, "It's a boy."  So if Ms. Poe says it's a boy then it's a boy!  Mike is also sure it's a boy but I think he just wants another lacrosse buddy.  He's already got a mini-lacrosse stick for him.
     I turned 13 weeks this week and was hoping for the nausea to turn off.  Well, it didn't.  I was so disappointed and saddened this week because I was sure it would be over this week.  Expectation is the root of disappointment and my expectations were too high.  I missed a lot of work this week which was upsetting because I was sure I would be able to work a full schedule this week.  Ohh well, I have to continue to remind myself of this quote I read in this great book that mama Jane & papa Joe gave me, " Pregnancy is an exercise in acceptance, rolling with the punches and just doing the best you can."  I have found a lot of peace with this quote.  I have also found a lot of strength from the sweet sweet sweet words of many friends and family.  I truly have never been more touched by the sweet words of so many people.  Thanks for all your support!  xoxo kim
