I HATE being wrong, I hate losing a bet, I hate giving wrong information and so far I'm 3 for 3 lately. The other day, while driving to my parents Jamie and I drove by a field on M-46 that still had the corn in it but the one across the field from it was already harvested. I made a comment about, wonder why Dad and Uncle Howard didn't combine that one while they were down this way. Jamie responded, because they don't farm this field. Of course, I KNEW they did and let him know that they had farmed it for as long as I could remember and was so sure I was willing to bet on it. So, we did ( I do not bet unless I am 100% sure that I am correct). Uh, yeah, I was wrong, apparently they haven't farmed the south side of the road for a few years but do farm the north.
Then yesterday at work, we were talking about whether we should give paychecks out early b/c some banks will be closed today. The deciding factor ended up being what day the checks are dated for. When my boss asked me, I responded "Friday". Not realizing until later that they ARE dated for Thursday and have been for at least 1 or 2 years. WOW! I don't know if it's baby brain or what but I am usually mentally right on so this is new territory for me.
And lastly, I don't know if it's because Jamie's been saying for years that he's going to be "stuck" with all girls, or if it's because most everybody else seems to think we're having a girl, but somehow, Jamie and I were both pretty sure that the baby is a girl. I had an appointment in Grand Rapids on Tuesday, and you could not even believe my shock when the ultrasound tech told us that is's a boy! It took a while to register, and Jamie thought my shock was disappointment but it was truely just shock. We are both very excited and can't wait to welcome our son into the world. However, we've had a girl's name picked out for years so now we have to finalize a boy's name. We're pretty sure we have it but it's so hard because it will be his name for his whole life!
I thought Jamie would be dancing on the roof to find out he's having a son. It troubled me a little bit that he was so sub-dued. I asked him later if he was disappointed, scared, upset, why he didn't seem excited. He said that he is very excited but didn't want to gloat because he thought I may be disappointed that it's not a girl. NOT AT ALL!!!! We are both so blessed with the opportunity to be parents!!!!
