Since more and more people have noticed that Michelle is starting to show the signs of being pregnant more and more people have been voicing their opinion on what sex they believe Spraggle will be. Now I have never been one to believe that you can tell the gender of the baby based on some old wives tales, needle and thread, the shape of the pregnant woman’s stomach, the phases of the moon, or flavor of her favorite gummy bear. I did however sort of believe a dream I had around week 6.
In my dream I was sitting on my couch watching a Phillies game when I saw a small toddler walk around my coffee table. I wrote it off as being my godson, Nathan. But when the toddler tried climbing up on the couch and I noticed it was wearing a dress I knew it wasn’t Nathan. (btw it was a little white dress with Phillies emblems on it) Anyway, this little person sat down beside me and looked up with bright blue eyes and red hair. And I knew that this was my daughter. Spraggle will be a girl.
At least that is what I thought up until last week when Michelle said she had a dream of her own. In her dream she went to the hospital to pick up Spraggle. Not like she had actually given birth to the baby but more like she was picking up something she had put on layaway. She took note while at the hospital that the baby was 7lbs 1oz. She laughs about this because each night before bed she’s been telling Spraggle that it can’t be more then 7lbs when born. At just one ounce more then what mommy requested is this Spraggle’s first act of defiance? Anyway, she thought the baby she had picked up was a girl. However when she got home and went to change the baby, “Spraggle” urinated on her using a body part characterized in the male gender.
Now I should mention that we are not hoping for one gender over another. Boy? Girl? It makes no difference to us as long as the baby is healthy. (Oh and if it is a girl, Michelle wants her to have red hair.) But we laugh about how neither of us has ANY clue what gender Spraggle shall be. That is at least for the next three weeks. Yes, on July 27th we will be going to the doctor to do the second round of ultrasounds. And pending Spraggle isn’t modest (Ha! Look at his/her parents) we should be able to see…that which determines our genders. With that in mind, get your votes in now for which sex you think Spraggle will be. We’d like to know what you all think. The poll is just over to the right. ------------>
As I am writing this the most people seem to think we are having a girl, with the votes 19 to 13 in favor of the fairer sex. An amusing result because the last time two girls were born into the Sprague family in the same year was 27 years ago. And little Riley Mae took the title as the first Sprague female born in the past 23 years.
