We find out the baby\u2019s sex a week from today. I don\u2019t care. I genuinely don\u2019t, which is very strange for me. Usually at this point of pregnancy I am a lunatic waiting to find out pink or blue. People keep saying, \u201cYou want a girl so your numbers are even, 3 boys and 3 girls, right?\u201d I shrug my shoulders and say, \u201ceh.\u201d<\/p>\n
This puts me right up there for Mother of the Year, I just know it. Absolutely no curiosity about our sweet #6. I don\u2019t wonder about eye color or hair color. I do hope it has my nose, mine is much cuter than the Computer Guy\u2019s German one, but I don\u2019t need to know if he\/she does. <\/p>\n
Pregnancy has become routine for me. I\u2019ve done it so many times that I keep looking for the new. No matter how exciting the end is, it\u2019s hard to get excited about a routine. It\u2019s also hard to explain indifference and not sound as if I\u2019m heartless. I want the ultrasound guy to tell us the baby is healthy. I do care about that. I just don\u2019t give a fig for the rest of it.<\/p>\n
Our baby will come in August, and we will adore him or her. I have no doubt about that because the little booger is already well loved. We will count fingers and toes and look to see if the \u201cplumbing\u201d is indoor (girl) or outdoor (boy). We will snuggle and coo and think that that first cry is one of the greatest things we ever heard. <\/p>\n
I know these things will be true. It\u2019s just a little routine now. I said to the Computer Guy and the Little Kids, \u201cLet\u2019s change things up and be surprised this time. Wouldn\u2019t it be fun to be surprised?\u201d #1 looked at me raised an eyebrow and replied, \u201cI\u2019m not sure that all the crack you\u2019re smoking is good for the baby.\u201d <\/p>\n
I\u2019ll take that as a no, and where did that sarcasm come from? She must get it from her father.<\/p>\n
Monday. Boy or Girl. I\u2019m taking bets now.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
