We did find out, but we’re keeping it a secret! Part of my evil plot to avoid lots of pink frilly stuff or lots of blue truck stuff. Also, it has been really fun having a secret… when I found out I was pregnant my husband and I only had the secret for a few hours before I told my mom so I dunno… it is nice having something that just the two of us know! It is going to be really a really hard secret to keep though, especially since at home we tend to refer to it with gender specific pronouns or by its name. :-) BUT, I do have names picked out, for both boy or girl. Boy: Ezra Loïc, Girl: Anya Elizabeth. Unless the baby is born on Ernie’s (from sesame street!) birthday, in which case the middle name will probably be Ernest/Ernestine. What can I say, I have an Ernie obsession. I still sleep with my Ernie doll that I have had since I was a kid, and he was the ring bearer in my wedding (ok, he was more of the ring pillow that my nephew carried, but I liked to think of Ernie as the ring bearer and my nephew as the Ernie bearer. :-P)

Melisa this is SUCH a good point, and a great reminder for me. Because you’re so right, but I always forget to tell people this. Eating for maximum pleasure is an awesome way to transition. It’s how I did it, and how a lot of people I know did it. You can always mellow out and “clean” up later, but allowing yourself to get super excited about all the new wonderful treats you get to try, reframes it from what you *don’t* get to eat anymore, into all about what you *do* get to eat now. Great great advice.
