17 weeks: Pink or Blue Guess Whooooo

Tomorrow tomorrow I love ya tomorrow we're only a day away! Tomorrow morning at 11:00 we have our 3D ultrasound to see this little bundle of joy and for the gender determination! However, we will not actually be finding out the gender tomorrow. The plan {as long as we can maintain self control} is for the ultrasound tech to write boy or girl on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. We will not find out until Saturday afternoon with some of our closest friends and family at our Gender Reveal party! I am super excited about waiting until Saturday to find out. Funny enough, that was actually my idea! It is Bennett that was a bit opposed to it at first {he said he just couldn't wait another day}, and to be quite honest I'm a little worried he is going to try to take a peek into the envelope when I am not looking... I better keep that thing under lock and key! I am taking the day off of work tomorrow {hallelujah} so I am super excited about a nice Friday getting ready for our guests! I can tell the baby is really growing lately. Not only do I have the hiccups every 5 minutes {not joking} but I feel like my bump is making significant strides toward actually looking pregnant. Actually, one of my retailers this week- an Indian gentleman- said to me as soon as I walked into his store "Congratulations". I just went about my business and laughed it off {if you had my job, you'd understand that you really just never know what is going to come out of people's mouth}. Also, I should mention that my "belly" was no where near showing. As a matter of fact, I had on a black pea coat and it was buttoned up... not a bit preggers looking! Anyway, he later went on to ask me if I heard him congratulate me. I responded that I did but was unsure what he was referring to. He then said "You are pregnant, are you not?". Shocked, I told him that I was {I say shocked because I have only told literally 4 friends from work that I am pregnant}. He laughed and said he just "has a gift" and could tell immediately. I like to think maybe it was the pregnant glow :) Oh and I cannot forget, he said he also has the gift of gender determination... So for what it's worth, Sam Patel votes boy.
