Why I THINK we're having a boy (Matt's side of the story)

I told Bre it might be fun to explain why we both think we're so sure of what we're having. I can say, that my wife is a lot more certain that it's a girl than I am that it is a boy!

I would say, I'm about 70% leaning toward boy and 30% leaning toward girl!

(I figured if I am right, this would be the best way to say..."Ha! I told you!" and have proof for Bre, haha.

My reasoning:

When we first found out Bre and I were expecting, before anyone else knew, she had about 3 dreams about little baby boys...and I've read in my "expecting dad" book that dreams are very telling in pregnant women...

Then the morning sickness kicked in hardcore and the doc did say to us that a lot of times women who carry little girls have more morning sickness than those carrying boys because of the hormones baby girl makes and the hormones mom is producing. So...then I thought girl. Also, the morning sickness (for Bre, mostly night time) continued and is still continuing way past the end of the first trimester, which also happens for a bunch of women carrying girls. Many say that is a myth, but it was cool, our doctor actually emailed me some studies that prove this.

Also, doc said that what Bre's mother felt during pregnancy was also indicative of what she could possibly be carrying. Bre's mother remembers being much sicker with Bre than with her brother Josh. She shared some funny stories with us that made Bre feel much less ridiculous about having to dine and dash from restaurants because her nausea was acting up.

However, Bre has still dreamt about baby boys and the in one dream, the sonographer vividly tells us there is a baby boy on the screen, so then I'm back to boy. (in a dream, not real life)

Also, the baby totally fist bumped the screen during the last ultrasound, and that has to be a little Bogert boy, or I guess a pretty cool girl.

You can sense my confusion, I guess we will see in about 3 weeks what we are having, I can't wait to know. We have everything all planned out and can't wait to start it. I can't wait to call it "he" or "she" or by his/her name and not "it".

So...that's why I am 70% boy and 30% girl.

Bre said she will post hers later.
