On anticipation

A) I'm so excited for the ultrasound tomorrow and so so nervous that baby won't share the goods and I'll have to wait even longer. Gah! I'm nervous too that I'll end up being disappointed with the sex. And I'm anxious to hear that baby is healthy.

B) We do share the sex. We shared with Heidi. We loved getting girly things and having everyone know that we were having a daughter.

C) We will not share the name. Not that we know what it is anyway. Not that we really have any idea, actually. But when we do figure that out, we'll keep the secret to just us. We don't do it to drag out the anticipation. And as cool as it was last time, we don't really do it for the big reveal on baby's birth day. We do it because I want to make sure that I use a name that I love without worrying about what other people think. I would hate to tell someone the name and have to interpret their facial expression or hear a "that's...interesting" and make me second-guess a name that I love. Folks seem to be a little more careful with their opinions when they know that it's just the baby's name--it's not up for discussion.

So hopefully you'll all know the sex of the baby within the next couple of days. But baby's name will have to wait until April 4th-ish. Hopefully we have one figured out by then.
