Andrew and I have been going back and forth like crazy, trying to decide if we're going to find out the gender of this baby. Both of us like surprises, but we also remember how amazing it was finding out with Lucy. It's a tough decision, considering how soon we need to decide.
Today I read about another toddler who passed away. After reading his story, I realized how many parents have to let go of their babies too early. Some parents don't have the chance to take pictures of the first steps, the first words and the first day of kindergarten.
Trying for Baby #2 was really exciting. We didn't plan on trying until next January. When Andrew told me we should just go for it I was thrilled. It was a really fun month of waiting and hoping and wishing. We didn't have that with Lucy. This baby has been anticipated and willed into life in a different way, and every moment has been with extreme excitement.
Every little baby is so special, and every moment of growth and each milestone deserve to be celebrated and anticipated. In honor of the millions of babies who don't make it to their big ultrasound, and in tribute to the many parents who don't have the chance to celebrate every milestone, we're going to find out this baby's gender and celebrate as hard as we can.
