Popping With Excitement

Last night, when everyone was over for dinner, we got to talking about babies again. It’s like the main topic of our conversations now. Yadira will be due in April, Annie wants to try when she turns 30 next July, Elda and Jose want to try and we want to try. Well, we’re “considering” trying .

Noelia printed out Ancient Chinese Birth Charts for everyone, including herself, and we all started calculating and highlighting like crazy. So, if we do end up trying, my greatest chances of having a girl when I turn 24 are in June, August, and November. The rest of the months I’ll supposedly end up having a boy. And with my luck…

I keep thinking, though…last time Mario and I were trying for a baby, when we conceived Jaylen, I was so hopeful about having a girl and then turns out we’re having a boy and I had all these complications. What if it God was punishing me for being selfish? I hate to think that, but it’s the thought I go back to all the time. After I found out we might lose Jaylen because of the bad chromosome that was showing up on the AFP test I just started praying that it didn’t matter what I had, I just wanted the baby to be healthy. I don’t want the same thing to happen this time .

If we do end up with a boy though, it would be really cute to see what he looks like since Eenan and Jaylen look so different :).
