A little comparison. On the left is a picture from 8 weeks pregnant with Bryson. On the right, 8 weeks with baby number 2.


I'll do another comparison next week at 12 weeks:)

A new surprise

Okay. So I know I haven't posted in a very long time.  I should really try to do a better job at my mommy blogging.  So a little update since I've last posted. I now have a very curious two year old little boy who is into ABSOLUTELY everything! He is such a super smart little man and I'm not just saying that because he's mine;).

And recently we announced our little surprise that our sweet Bryson is going to be a big brother! That's right! I am in the process of growing a new little miracle. July 18 can't get here fast enough but in another sense is so close and we have too much to do! Just like any pregnant mother we are of course dying to know if this little bean will be a miss or another mr! As much as I would love to have one of each I honestly don't know what to do with a girl. I can give expert advice all day long about Legos, air planes, choo choo trains, Lincoln logs, cars, and trucks, but when it comes to barbies and princesses I'm a little out of touch.  I even had a patient at work ask me where to find barbies other than Walmart. Having no clue I had to ask my mommy friend Lindsay where she gets rylee's.

Anyways, back to being completely anxious and excited to find out the gender of our baby I have passed the time with a few fun little test to try to take a guess.

At 10 weeks from my missed period I bought an intelligender test and took it the next morning. Here was my result:





One week later. At 10 weeks and 2 days according to the Ultrasound measurement I took another intelligender test.  This was my result then:




Hmm...so one boy result and one girl result. Well that test didn't convince me to lean toward one or the other so I decided to do the ring and string test.

According to the old wives tale if you tie a string around your wedding band and hold it above your belly and it spins in a circle, you're thought to be having a girl. If it sways back and forth it's a boy! Simple enough. Let's give it a try.








Well, it went in small circles. So another girl result.  Let's see what the Chinese gender chart says.

Another girl result. Not certain what the lunar age and all is but I promise I put the right dates in. Haha. This was from babycenter.com

So far these are all this test I have done. Of course it is all for fun and I will be perfectly happy with pink or blue. I just want a happy healthy baby!

Comment your opinion if you want. It'll be fun to see who guesses right! We'll know hopefully in February!
