I could very well be getting in my own way ;)

I am 28 years old. Shouldn't I know myself by now?

I am an optimist, a planner and unfortunately in this case...a do-er! Since we were told by the ultrasound specialist, doctor and even Intelligender that they "are very confident" we are having a little girl, I pretty much made up my mind that yes indeed, we are having a girl. It's so much more fun to believe them because that means, I can start on the nursery! (even though they advise against this) ;)

I figured that a trip to Home Depot to just get paint samples of the two purples I am planning to use, would be HARMLESS! Wrong.

It turns out, I am incapable of painting just one stipe...because then I want to see what two stripes will look like. And of course, if I paint two, I might as well finish painting the entire nursery. During stripe one, I thought...it will be really funny if it turns out to be a boy. 20 stipes and 3 days worth of painting later...Chris and I both agree we will be "pissed" if it's a little boy. That or our sweet little boy will have a purple room! ;)

I still feel confident it's a little girl. Good thing because it wasn't only me doing the work. Jamie painted and bunch on Friday night and Chris and I took on the daunting task of the stripes the rest of the weekend.

I will wait for all of the next steps until we "officially" find out...that should be in about 3-4 weeks!

Then again, I could be blogging in a week with the grand finale!
