MY PREDICTION

I sit here with constant anticipation to meet the small life I have been growing for nearly nine months. As the due date approaches I find that I am becoming more and more curious to meet this little person. I imagine what this child will look like and what personality we will come to know.

Here is my prediction:

GENDER: Boy
LENGTH: 20 inches
WEIGHT: 7lbs 6 oz
EYE: Brown
HAIR: Brown… a fair amount of it

I think Sprite will look much like Kaden considering the gene pool on Adam’s side is very strong between Curt, Adam and Kaden. I guess Sprite will be close to Kaden’s measurements, but smaller vs larger (as most second babies are). I am amazed how much I feel the baby move at this stage of the pregnancy. Kaden was very gentle and quite. This little one is a swimmer and kicker all day and night. I think this baby will have a zest from the beginning of the arrival. This is my way of being kind in saying baby will not be a sleeper…

I have to think that my predictions do come skewed. I have gone back and forth with the sex of the baby over the course of the pregnancy. Do I lean towards a boy because this is what we now ‘know’? If I try to imagine having a daughter it seems so foreign to me! We know camo, trucks and the color blue all to well. Do I presume the baby will have certain measurements or traits because this is also what we know? I am sure this all plays a part as to where my mind's eye takes me in picturing our unborn.

Boy or girl; girl or boy. It makes no difference to us. We simply do not care and we mean this full heartedly. We look forward to welcoming our child in the coming weeks. It isn’t soon enough, but it is soon that my predictions will be answered.
