Grandma Jan - Words on having a boy or girl grandchild

I am so undecided as to if the baby will be a boy or a girl.   It would be fun to have a boy grandbaby as I had girls, but little baby girls have a special place in my heart.  Ali's baby bump looks like a girl but overall I think I am going to say boy.  Rob and Ali need a rough and tumble little fellow in their life as Rob is surrounded by girls (wife and dogs) and Ali will be a great mom to a little guy.  So Friday morning I'll be wearing a blue shirt (which Ali says I need to wear all day even if the Dr.'s appt. says differently) to the Swier reveal.  No matter what that baby will be spoiled by grandma.

Pregnancy: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Well, the consensus is in.  Apparently most of you think that I am having an alien.  For your information my baby actually looks like a baby now, even though it didn’t before!  Hehe!  Here are my thoughts on pregnancy thus far.

The Good:

• Bigger boobs.
• People are more likely to give you food.
• You don’t get in trouble for wanting to sleep A LOT.
• You have a baby growing inside you!!
• When Rob talks to the baby.

The Bad:

• Your tired
• Your nauseous
• No alcohol
• No caffeine
• No feta, sushi, lunchmeat, etc.
• I haven’t really been able to tell if it’s the baby moving or if it’s just gas
• No 14ers
• Flexibility goes down

The Ugly:

• Increase in digestive issues, I could expand, but not sure you would like it.
• You get bigger and therefore need different clothes.
• Throwing up a good meal your loving husband just cooked.
• Stretch marks, not yet for me, but it’s only a matter of time.

Although The Bad and The Ugly seem longer, The Good more than make up for the other two.  It is a wonderful and amazing experience and I just can’t wait to meet the little bugger.  By the way, we are finding out the sex of the baby on the 17^th.  So wear blue or pink that day depending on whether you think it’s a girl or a boy.  If you voted for alien you can wear green.
