A Constructed Life

It’s time to play “What’s In This Belly”


Baby Number 2 at 22 weeks

It’s G Day, as in Gender Day. At approximately 12:30 p.m. central standard time, we’ll find out if that baby bump contains a boy or a girl.

A coworker of mine recently told me about a friend who is soon to find out if his wife is pregnant with a boy or girl. I love how they’re sharing the news: My coworker received an invitation in the mail that read, “Come to our Sex Party,” as in, we’re having a party where we’ll open the sealed envelope from the doctor that says “Boy” or “Girl.” I’m just going to post the news on this blog. I know, not quite as creative, but perhaps more effective in spreading the word.

Joey and I are betting on Boy this time around, but mostly we just want to be reassured that our baby looks healthy. I can’t wait for another glimpse at the little being that’s squirming around in my belly, to replace “it” with “him” or “her” and to create a space in our home and lives for this baby.

The shock I felt a few months ago when I stared at a positive pregnancy test has turned into nothing but pure excitement. I’ll share the news with you later in the day when we get home. Can’t wait!
