To know or not to know?

What a tough question! One week from today we have the option of finding out the sex of our first child. Should we? Everyone has a different opinion and even we go back and forth on a daily basis. We want to know for planning purposes but then again the surprise in the delivery room would be neat too. We have a week to figure it out and I'm sure we will sit in the ultrasound room and make a last minute decision anyway...I just wonder what it will be.

All of a sudden I have a protruding tummy (very exciting!) but I am surprised at the back and leg pain that is starting already. For some reason I didn't think that pregnancy would change my daily routine all that much once I got past the morning sickness....which aside from a pickle incident seems to have passed. Oh how wrong was I! I am constantly overheated, exhausted, having to pee, and very irritable. I don't know what I was thinking...I have taken so many anatomy and physiology courses for nursing school, why didn't I think all of the life altering side effects of pregnancy that we learned about would happen to me? Apparently I am invincible. Superwoman is my alter-ego, but let's keep that between us...it would be irritating to have the paparazzi find out.

Whether we find out the sex or not I will post the newest picture of our little peanut when I get it next week!
