Boy or a Girl? What we are hoping for.

Hi Family & Friends,

Jacquee here! Last night Caleb and I got a big box of baby boys clothing from our friend Nika. Caleb and I also had a stash of baby girl clothes from our friend Marisa that we hadn't gone through yet. So we decided to sit down and go through it all.

Caleb and I have decided we'd like to dress our baby more gender neutrally. AKA- If we have a girl, her wardrobe will not purely consist of pink stuff and floral designs. So we kept this in mind whilst going through the lot of baby clothes.

We made our way through the boy's clothing. There was one shirt in particular that Caleb loved (and wished it was in his size)- A hooded shirt with two surfers on a wave. Totally Caleb. Other than that- he didn't get too excited about the boy's clothing. I was having fun though, because I'm hoping for a boy. It was fun to imagine having baby Leif and putting him in some of the cute polo's we picked out. He'd match his uncle Matt really well!

When we moved on to the baby girls clothing... that's when Caleb started to realize that contrary to his prior beliefs- he does in fact have a preference when it comes to the sex of the baby. He picked out every little dress there was- and excitedly said "I hope we have a baby girl- Freyja would look so cute in this!".

Although we have differing hopes for the sex of the baby- it is really fun to see Caleb get excited about the baby. And to form hopes and dreams about the baby. Realistically we'd both be happy with whatever we got. And honestly, I think if we had a girl, Caleb would have a heart attack as soon as she hit puberty and started to act out (There was a jean mini skirt in the baby girl clothes and I was teasing him about keeping it and he was like "NO WAY").  :-)

I think the funnest part of this pregnancy so far- has been to see Caleb warm up to the idea of being a father. Although the ultra sounds and hearing the heart beat of the baby are amazing as well!!

On Cinco De Mayo we will officially find out the sex of the baby. We haven't fully decided if we will announce the sex. We'll see!! But I think we'll definitely be having a Cinco De Mayo party to celebrate either way!

Love,
Jacquee & Baby
