NESTING WITH THE WOODWOODS

So I think it's time the whole pregnancy 'nesting' instinct kicked in for me. I will start by tidying up my blog and catching up to real time – so we will be all ready for when Baby WoodWoods arrives.

My blog doesn’t even know if Baby WoodWoods will be a boy or a girl - so let's get that crossed off my catch up list.

I admit that for a bit of fun I participated in all the old wives’ tale methods to help me predict the sex of our unborn baby. I also asked my crystal - to include a method considered a bit more new age.

Now there were a number of points I agreed with on one list that was predicting a boy if:

• You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy √
• You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles √
• Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you √√√√

(Now the list did really state that last point but I am only joking that it is relevant to you Dazza ☺)

You can see I was almost convinced it was a boy and my crystal reinforced my belief.

Did I listen to dear hubby? No Siree. Darren had been absolutely confident from the early days that Baby WoodWoods would be a little girl. So when the big ultrasound day arrived all would be revealed… we were hoping.

All the important and crucial factors were checked relating to the health of our baby and now on to the fun stuff.

To quote our ultrasound technician:

“I see labia……. It’s a Girl!”

Hey! that is what she said.

Proud daddy was beaming next to me…. Beaming because he was confident all along that Baby WoodWoods would be a girl – He has the Gift.

Reflecting back I may have put too much faith in my crystal's anticlockwise motion, telling me that lots of blue would be gracing the nursery.

I spread the news quickly and we could almost hear the sighs of relief across the Pacific. I don't think my boy name suggestions were very popular.

Well, I must go now and keep working on my girl name list…. My ideas are endless – it will be a hit!!!!!

1. Paris Galaxy Wood
