Boy or GIRL for MYSTE

We're both still somewhat in a state of shock. We were really hoping for a girl, silly as it may be. I thought that I'd somewhat gotten my head wrapped around a boy but when being faced with the reality of it, it's still an OMG WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO feeling. Sort of like we were confident we knew how to handle a girl but had no clue how to handle a boy. I guess we'll figure it out!

Now comes the picking out of names and figuring out colors/furniture/etc for the nursery for a boy.

I thought the same thing. I mean, I'm a girl. I KNOW girl stuff!!!!! But trust me, once they place that tiny, beautiful baby BOY in your arms and you see that he is just a little piece of heaven with your husband's eyes and your fingers.... you will know exactly what to do.
And you'll adjust to overalls and blocks and little toy trucks - you'll still check out all the little girl dresses when you shop for him.... but trust me..... it's going to be the best experience of your life!!!!!!!!

I promise!!!!!!!!

MYSTE - I'M JUST SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!

by the way..... I'm an interior designer so if you need help with your nursery let me know!

It's funny, cause I think I wanted a girl, too. But from very early in the pregnancy I kept called the baby 'he' and sure enough when we had the scan they said 'it's a boy'. I thought, that was weird. Now I wouldn't want to change a thing. Having a boy is sooooo much fun, too. Actually I love buying boy clothes since I am not too fond of pink as a color. So I'll probably be one of the few Moms that will look for alternate colors besides pink should we ever have a girl. LOL I already picked out Kian's first pair of Chuck Tailor high tops for when he starts walking. And I love denim overalls, and his down vest and stuff. There are some cute boy clothes, too. (although sometimes a little harder to find, LOL). Once the shock wears off, I am sure, you will be super excited, and I am sure you will have tons of fun with your baby boy!!!

Thanks for the reassurance ladies. Still having a bit of a hard time with it but slowly adjusting. Still feels wierd to say "our son".

Still no idea on names or nursery ideas. I'm making all the crib bedding, etc myself so want to figure it out soon so I have time. We've been debating names, he refuses to use Dale as a first name (after my dad) and yet won't offer name suggestions. it's driving me nuts!

Glad to hear you are calling him "our son"! We called him BB until the day before he was born! (stands for baby boy!)
We couldn't agree on a name either and in the end I won!
Could you compromise and use Dale as a middle name? That way, you still get to use the name you love.... Dale would go really well with TONS of names!

Have you thought about a color pallet for your son's room?

Yeah, right now the plan is for Dale as a middle name, but don't know what we'll use for a first name... if DF doesn't start coming up with ideas though I might get my way by default!

We're not entirely sure about the pallet or theme - DF doesn't want anything too "masculine" like cowboys or cars or stuff (Don't wanna push the baby to be "manly" or anything... *rolls eyes*)

Here's a couple we're looking at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3R7FZW8WXS5JY
No way in heck am I ever going to pay well over $300 for a 3-piece bedding set though! These are mostly for ideas, although the one cheap one we might get if we decide on that pattern. I can handle making most of it myself so long as it's fairly simple patterns, I'm a semi-novice sempstress.

Wow they are gorgeous!! They are very simple designs so its not hard to match other accessories. You could always get that artistic side out and paint a couple of small canvases to match the theme to put on the wall!
Im so excited for you, i loved doing the nursery up!!!
