As I was painting even more stuff for the baby and admiring my handiwork,
the sudden fear that the baby is NOT what they said it was, gripped me.
God,
I can't even imagine the poor baby going about for the next year or so in
the wrong colored clothes, and living in a room decorated expressly for a
child of the opposite sex.And I am SO not going to make another baby
quilt,
so I hope the thing was correct.
I guess I've done allthe preparation I need to do, so nothing left to do
but
worry for the next 12 weeks or so!

*sigh* At least you get the chance to find out. I'm dealing with the same
issues somewhat because we REALLY want a boy, and all the clothes I'm
getting from my family are for boys (last two cousins have been boys). I
have firmly made up my mind that if it is a girl, she will likely take after
me and be a tomboy anyways, so she's going to just wear blue until I'm out
of hand-me-downs (and wear one of those frilly headbands out in public to
ward off strangers comments). I have hedged my bets with a few pink outfits
I found at a garage sale this weekend, though. 8)

My mother had my brother 15 mos after my sister. They were military so
didn't have a lot of money. She told me that my brother only had a few boy
outfits for a long time, and wore pink and frilly stuff at home. When he
was born, she started buying more unisex basic clothes for my sister (less
ruffles) so he could wear them later too. Makes sense to me.

I wish you all the luck in that the u/s tech was right!
