I really wanted to take the risk and make a chalkboard design this week to announce that we WILL find out next week the gender of Baby Gale!

Our next baby appointment, Tuesday the 12th, will be the "BIG" half way appointment. I'll be checked for Gestational Diabetes, have a physical, AND most of all have another ultrasound!! I'm absolutely positive that Baby Gale has developed well enough by now since our last ultrasound to get a definite answer on the gender.

Although, I feel like it would still be okay if we couldn't find out, I think once we do it will make things feel even more real. We'll get to start buying gender specific things, pick out a name/middle name, and well... just get to plan for what we have in store for the rest of our lives! :) 

Justin and I have been discussing for a while baby names and God Parents. It's so hard to just pick one! We've told a lot of family and friends the names that we have in mind, however, I'm thinking we are going to keep the official name just between the two of us until Baby Gale arrives. That's something special for him and I to just hold on to, and surprise everyone else when the baby is here. 

If we can handle keeping it to ourselves! :)
