…to knowing (hopefully) the sex of our Babe is LESS THAN 24 hrs away! The day has crept upon us and is almost here; CRAZY! Aside from finding out the sex, we’ll also get the most detailed views of our little Babe and see how everything is developing. Hopefully, we’ll find a strong and healthy little guy or gal but no matter what, we’re thankful for this little Babe Heavenly Father has blessed us with.

So here’s our honest-to-goodness thoughts about what we “want”:

Eb: I’ve always imagined myself having a boy first, the big-brother protector. Maybe this is because I have three older brothers, Steven has four brothers and all of our brothers seem to breed boys. I love me some little boys. However, “gun to head” (as Steven and I like to say to one another) I think it’s a girl. The high heart rate (I know it’s an old wives’ tale) has kept nagging at me, signaling it may be a girl. In the past and growing up, I always thought a boy would come first but for some reason now I have a little girl in the forefront of my mind. I really don’t have a preference for what I “want” per se, I’m just ready to know so I can get going on the nursery and naming of the Babe.

Steven: Look readers, this a difficult situation for me. I have only been, been around, been with, seen, held, known, boys my entire life. I feel that if we were to have a boy I at least would have the very slightest semblance of what to do with him. I’d inudate him with Tonka trucks, trains and basically anything that goes vroom.

A girl on the other is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, smothered with the bitter taste of the great unknown. I haven’t the slightest idea of what to do with a little girl. Honestly, if she shows up there tomorrow I feel that for the sake of the babe I should go into hiding until she’s 16 when I’ll come stumbling back with a long beard and a pet mountain lion to scare the bujeebus out of anyone that tries to date her. I’d just mumble softly while cleaning my gun.

That being said I give two final thoughts:

1) I think it’s a boy

2) If it’s a girl I will still do my darndest to be the best mountainman father she’s ever had.

Some of you have made your predictions, a few girls and one boy, but we would really love to know what you think…
