Well yet again I cannot sleep. This is getting ridiculous. Hope I am not like this my entire pregnancy. Still haven't felt any real kicks. There are times when I think I felt the baby but I am not really sure. I hope I can soon, I am getting so impatient now. I have been trying to think of how I can decorate the baby's room without finding out the gender. I have been thinking a lot about all the positives of not knowing and after much research I have decided that I like it better waiting. I used to think that it would be such a hassle for me and of course for others who attend my shower when they try to find a gift that is gender free. But, after much reading, it is actually in your favour to not find out. Not only do you get the extra surprise, people are more interested in your pregnancy and the birth is more exciting for everyone but also, you will get more useful things and reusable things if they do not know the sex. They will be more inclined to buy off your registry as opposed to buying all the cute newborn outfits that you will only use for a week.. lol. So now I feel much better about the whole situation and I will put practical things on my registry and... if we have another child later, much of it will be reusable even if you end up with the opposite gender next time around.... perfect! So I have decided to do a black and white theme in the baby's room with abstract and geometric shapes... that is what babies respond to first so it is a great idea, babies love black, white and red in the beginning. Later I can add more gender specific colour and also many other colours over time. I love it! Baby's r us has a beautiful black crib... never seen a black one before and with a matching dresser/change table... and I may add a few white pieces.. oh the ideas are endless... Well this week I have been tired as ever even though i am getting enough sleep in spite of my insomnia... guess it doesnt help that my hours are messed up. My appetite is picking up but my stomach doesnt want that much food... I feel like i am gonna rip at the seems after I eat..lol... lotsa gas still... i wonder sometimes if the poked a hole in me.. would i deflate? Lucky for me.. my hubby encourages flatulence... lol there is always some type of bodily function contest going on around here!

After initially thinking I was going to find out the gender, my husband convinced me to be surprised. I'm so glad he did. What you say is so true on all accounts. At my shower I only received useful items and mostly off the registry. I had a lot of time to read through them and figure out how to use them, and now I feel so much more prepared. My friend pretty much only received pink outfits at her shower. My aunt just had a baby, and she gave me all her gender neutral gently used cclothes so I'm all set with clothes throught 6 mos. After that, we'll be in a different season and I can judge how much the baby has grown. The only thing I don't like about not knowing is having to be careful when talkingabout the baby and those pesky pronouns, she or he which do I use? hahaha
Good luck on the sleep thing. I've recently developed quite the insomnia too.
