A Matter of Sex....

   Er... well GENDER at least! Tomorrow is the big day. We will offically find out the gender of Borquez baby #2!! One of my friends ask me if today felt like Christmas Eve? Well she described my emotions to a T! Thats exactly how I feel the day before this highly anticipated reveal. I had orginally planned on doing a gender reveal party to announce the baby's sex but instead I've decided to go smaller scale and have a small cake ..either pink or blue on the inside to inform the family. Because of Chris's work schedule we will more than likely wait and eat lunch somewhere Saturday and cut the cake afterwards. That is if I can keep a secret from my family for 2 entire days. It wouldn't be an easy task anyway but you don't know my bunch lol!
    At least I will get to find out on the table this time! When we went for our 20 week appointment with Kal-el I opted to have a little suprise for myself and told them not to tell me the sex. We made plans for all of us to get together that evening for a dinner at Fiesta. Chris bought two little gifts for me..one for a boy and the other for a girl. He would give me the gift that corresponded with the sex of our first child as soon as we were done eating. The only two people that knew right away were my husband and Poppa. Chris just had to tell him. It was their little secret for 5 whole hours. So sweet! :) I spent the rest of the afternoon following our appointment trying to gage Chris's reactions to different statements I would make in regards to gender. He hid it well..I couldn't figure it out or get anything out of him. Looking back I had all the confirmation I needed in the ultrasound when I turned my head to avoid the screen and saw the biggest smile I'd ever seen spread across Chris's face. Dinner couldn't arrive fast enough. I rushed the entire meal as much as possible! When I finally opened my gift there was pink on top but I know what a prankster my spouse is so I kept digging and found a sweet little note along with lots of blue suprises : Hello! I'm going to be a Mommy's boy..we love you
Melted my heart! It honestly took me a few days to get used to the idea of a little boy...for some reason I freaked out and pictured him coming out as a  smelly teenager covered in pimples, with a disrespectful mouth, ready to impregnant the world. This is so funny to me now because I'm all about baby boys especially my little heart breaker. He's the light of mine and Chris's life and I'm in love with the fact that he's ALL boy. God knew just what I needed when he blessed us with Super! :)
    So tomorrow is the day...Do I have a preference this time you ask? Honestly......no. Orginally I would of definately responded "girl".... however now that I know what it's like to love a baby boy I am almost biased towards them. Kal-el has just been that awesome. I'll say what I've said all along. I would love the experience of raising both sexes but I love what I know so far. To me its a win/win come tomorrow as long as baby #2 is healthy. I either get a brand new experience altogether OR I get to experience what I already know and adore! I'm totally split down the middle and I guess thats a good thing since my odds are 50/50! Part of me loves the idea of a little me with bows and heels and another part of me loves the idea of being the only girly girl and getting doted on by the sweet boys in my life. I know one thing for sure..I'm tired of saying "baby" and completely ready to call this little one by his/her name!!!

Here are some pictures from our gender reveal when I was pregnant with Kal-el a couple of years ago..such fun memories..and to think we get to do it again...so excited!

Chris "Bear" tricking me :)
