**Thinking Pink**

26
May 2009

I have been pregnant for a little over 4 months  now! While I wouldn’t say it has exactly sunk in yet, I am getting more used to the idea of a little one around here. One thing I am having a hard time with, however, is every time I picture the baby, or us as a 4 person family in the future, the baby is ALWAYS a girl. ALWAYS. Not once have I imagined Ian and I and our two rambunctious sons wreaking havoc on everything in sight. No, when I picture the future I picture Ian and I watching Zane play with his sweet little precious sister. There is a lot of cooing and baby talk and pink. We even have her name, Matilda.  We don’t have a boys name. We barely have a maybe, if we don’t think of anything better, boys name. 

Now, I am only 16 weeks. It is very possible that this baby is a boy. In fact, I have been told that there is a 50% chance it is a boy. Although, those statistics seem highly implausible. Honestly, I am not really interested in Science’s opinion on the sex of my future baby. I am much more interested in what the Chinese Gender Prediction Calculator thinks.

According to my Lunar age and my month of conception this baby will be a Girl. Also, according to this calculator, Zane is also a girl. So I guess the calculator is not right ALL of the time. In fact, google Chinese Gender Calculator and click on any of the sites listed and you will find out the calculator is correct a whopping 50% of the time! I don’t know about you, but those are good enough odds for me!

Off to buy pink wallpaper!!
