Boy or Girl?

As it gets closer and closer to finding out the baby's sex, I find myself daydreaming about this little one growing inside of me. I am so excited to find out and start buying baby outfits, shoes and blankets. I want to make sure the baby is healthy first and foremost at the ultrasound next month but the ultimate goal is the sex. I can't wait and it will be so much more special to have the most important people there with me. Chris, Corey and my mom.

With that all said, I am going further into my daydreams and what it would mean for us for having a boy or having a girl.

What it would mean if it's a boy:

Corey would have a playmate. Someone to be his little shadow. Someone he can look out for in school if his little brother gets picked on.  Someone to gang up on mom with and play tricks on her. Someone to play football, baseball and basketball in the backyard in the summers.

Daddy would have a 3rd musketeer. Again they can gang up on mommy. Play sports together with Corey. Have games of tag and games of hide and seek. Have a 4th San Francisco 49ers fan. And teach him all he knows about sports.

Mommy would have 2 adorable baby boys that would mean the world to her. She would be just like her best friends, Marcee and Betty with 2 boys to each of them. It would mean finding a way to show them the best way to pee standing up. It would mean not having to send them to separate playdates or after school activities because they would be into the same things. IE: karate, JFL, teeball, etc. It would mean not having to share her girl things with like hair ties, make up and shoes...I stole all this from my mom and she hated it!


What it would mean if it's a girl:

Corey would be the ultimate big brother that will teach her to tie her shoes. Teach her colors and ABC's and 123's. He would protect her when someone picks on her in school. I see him going to a teacher and telling them that a bully is messing with his sister. He would be the only person that can pick on her but he would do it playfully not mean.  When they got older, he would be the one to beat up her ex-boyfriends.

Daddy would have a little princess. She would have him wrapped around her little finger the moment he saw her, as Corey had him. He would again have a 4th San Francisco 49ers fan. He wouldn't let her out of his site when it came to boys and friends. You think he is overprotective with Corey now, wait until he has a girl.

Mommy would have a little shopping buddy. Someone she can teach to bake and cook...well, they could learn together.  Someone to be mad at when she steals her hair ties, shoes and make up. Someone she can put tu-tu's on with her jersey that Daddy put on. Someone she could share what she learned from her mistakes when she was growing up. Someone's hair she could play with and to learn french braids on.


Those were my little daydreams and wishes for this baby. I have dreamed of a family of 4, as perfect as that sounds. It has always been my dream to have a husband and 2 kids in a home with nothing but love for one another. A quote that comes to mind is 'We are family. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.'  That's what I think about when I see this family of 4. I know its not going to be perfect but to me, this is all that I need. Whether it be a boy or a girl. This baby will make my heart completely complete!

Welcome, 2012!

2011 has came and went. It never slowed down and I see that when I signed in I only had 1 post from 2011. 2012 hopefully will be different but lets face it, I am bad at blogging:/

Chris, Corey and I had an eventful year. We visited family and friends as much as possible and we went to our favorite places as much as possible as well.

We are expecting our 2nd baby here in the early summer and can't wait until he or she gets here. We are wanting to know the sex beforehand so we can get the baby room set up. I can't wait to decorate. I'm sure to know sometime in February, so stay tuned. Our summer is going to be eventful with a new baby. We are excited.

I changed accounts at my job in May in hopes that I would be working back at home and December 19th it finally happened. I work at home and doing 2nd shift. So far it has been lovely, sleeping in and hanging out with Corey in the mornings. We like to have a big breakfast of sausage, oatmeal and toast with milk for him and OJ for me. I keep wanting to get up and cook some eggs and toast for Chris in the mornings but he gets up so dang early and can't muster up the strength to get up. Hopefully, I can get into the habit of it soon since my New Year's resolution is to cook more at home.


There are so many things to look forward to that I can't wait for but I feel like because 2011 went by so fast that this time/this year I want to tell myself to take a deep breath, slow down and enjoy each and every single day. I feel as a mother especially, I am waiting and holding my breath for the next milestone or special event. I need to keep telling myself to enjoy the little things because one day I will look back and realize those little things were the big things that I may just miss and wish I had that time again.

My advice for anyone in 2012 is remember the positive, forget the negative. Don't focus on the negative or you will never get to the positive of any situation. Keep a smile on your face, people will either love you for it and those are the people you want in your life or people will hate you for it. Either way, just keep smiling. Hold your head up high and focus on what matters the most to you. Most of this is me telling myself these things but I hope whoever is reading can take something from this. Oh and to blog more...another New Year's resolution for 2012:)
