Excitement = No sleep
So, it is 11:00 Wednesday night, August 20th, and I cannot sleep. Tomorrow we find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I am completely aware that staying awake is not going to affect the outcome whatsoever. I am totally aware that no matter how much I think about it, I still will not know until 1:30 tomorrow, but I simply cannot sleep. I am playing in my head all the different scenarios. If it is a boy, then the nursery will look a certain way, and if it is a girl, then I need to change some things. What about names? We can actually pick a name after tomorrow. That is so amazing. Don't get too excited though because we are not telling anyone the name. There have to be some surprises you know. This weekend we are going to register for baby stuff. We will be at Target and Babies R Us. I am really looking forward to this and completely dreading it at the same time. I don't know what babies need. I have never been a mom before. I know that diaper warmers are a waste of money and help to breed bacteria...handy little fact I have picked up somewhere. I know that just because the baby people manufacture it does not mean I need to buy it, but what do I buy? How many bottle do I need. I have to have a "boppy". This is what I have been told. That will be number one on the registry. Do I register for every single thing that I want for the baby and for the nursery? Good grief, why does my mother have to live an hour and a half a way? So, say a little prayer for us. Tomorrow we find out whether or not this fetus has a penis and Saturday night we scan for diapers. We love you all!

Sweetheart, you are right that staying awake the night before you were to find out that Norman Jr. is a boy or a girl would not determine that he is in fact going to be a boy. However, i'm reminded of an old cartoon. An old, cranky lady says, "You know that 99 percent of the stuff you worry about never happens...so, see? It PAYS to worry!" Of course, worry doesn't change anything. Here's hoping you are relaxed now that you know Norman Jr. is in fact a boy and won't have go through life as a girl with a strange name like Norman Jr.!
