Why I think it's a GIRL!

My first ultrasound is coming up on May 20th! Just 28 days away! This ultrasound is going to tell us if the baby is a boy or a girl!

I want to start gathering everyone's predictions on paper prior to the ultrasound. I have a whole month to do this and I plan to get started right away! It will be interesting to see who was right and who was wrong.

I predict that it is a girl! I have had a name picked out for her since the beginning of this pregnancy and it just seems so right! I haven't actually called the baby by a name yet or accused it of being female to "it's" face but everytime I visualize him/her - I call HER by the name I've picked. This name holds much significance to Ken and I as well as my side of the family. Only our closest relatives know the name we have picked but other than that we have kept it a deep secret! We really want to surprise people! So if you are one of the one's who knows "her" name - please! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

This is why I think it's a girl:

- well, I have already stated my case about how I visualize this baby and how I have a name for "her" and it just seems so right

- I have always believed I would have a little girl first (maybe because I grew up as the first?)

- 2 months before I got pregnant, and believe me at this point I was getting desparate!, my dad had 2 dreams that I had a baby girl! The first dream he told us about was that he was chasing a little girl around that looked just like me! The second dream he dreamt was as follows:
there was a little girl on stage, at church, singing with the sunday school choir. She had light brown curly hair and she was twisting her curls with her finger. Dad looked over at Ken who had tears in his eyes. Ken said "It was all worth it".
When dad told me of the dream I jumped for joy! "Yes! Now I believe a baby is coming soon and she's a girl!". I was so happy!
The next day, as Ken and I were talking about dad's dream, I was reminded of a scripture. I quoted it to Ken on our way to church "The old men will dream dreams and the young men will have visions". When we got to church Brother Ed, our pastor, opened the service with this scripture! 2 months later I was pregnant!

- I am constantly reminded of how the Lord told my dad I was going to be a girl when mom was pregnant with me. It was in a dream! In the dream God told him he was having a girl to humble him. Dad had already ran around professing he was having a son. After his dream - he had to go around and correct himself. He just could not ignore the dream. "I am having a girl to humble me", he would say. No one could convince him otherwise!

- When we were looking for a new place to live we walked through a place that already had a baby girl's nursery! The nursery was just beautiful! And really big (connected to a bathroom!). The house had baby girl stuff all over it and the mother that currently lived there said "So I can leave all the child safety things when I leave?". "Absolutley!", I said. I took this all to be a sign. We move in there in a month (the same week we find out the sex of the baby!)

- Since we have been pregnant everyone, including perfect strangers, talk about our baby as though they already know it's a girl! "...and you can take HER to the beach....", "....and when you finally look in HER eyes....". This has been our experience as well as my mothers when she talks to other people about the baby. When we shared our experiences with this - we just grinned.
When we point out to people what they have just done they apologize and we just assure them that's it's really okay! No big deal!

- I called my dad and asked him to pick up a can of tuna for me one night. He arrived with 5 bags full of: tuna, vegetables, fruit, juice, junk food, candles, dish cloths, and pink baby clothes and shoes to match! My mom and I were walking through Ikea the other day and she pointed out to me the bedroom suite my dad picked out earlier for the baby. It is a princess suite for a little girl! He is so sure of himself! Ken pointed out to dad about his confidence in the baby being a girl. Dad just said "Hey! No Grandfather would say no to a grandson! I just know it's a girl.".

So now you see why I believe it's a girl! Do you choose to go along with my reasons, confirmations, and signs? Or do you choose to go against the grain, like Ken, and predict it's a boy? It's your choice! If I wasn't ME, I would have predicted a boy just to be different. But, I AM me - and I can't help it! I really believe it's a girl!

Please feel free to send me your predictions! Either on here, facebook, or my email address: kajillian@hotmail.com

This should be interesting! Well, we'll allll know in a month!
