My mood while writing this blog: hungry

Hi Ladies! As you can see, this is my first blog in like forever and a decade. That is because I was no where near my computer. But, I am here now...yaay! And now that I am here, my nails are getting too long to type as fast as I want to! LOL But, Ladies, I need serious advice! Because I am going to explode!!!! I know for a fact 1 out of every 3 pregnant women has to go through this. I just want to know how you guys handle this certain situation. Okay, I AM A FREAK ABOUT SHOPPING FOR MY BABY!!! A lot of women who are excited about their new coming babies are. Well, everytime I see something that I like and I know I am going to need, I buy. The problem is the criticism!!! Ahhhhhh!!!! EVERYONE and their grandmas have something to say about me buying things for my baby. They are all saying that I might end up with a boy and have a bunch of girl stuff for no reason. Well, I have done my best to buy neutral colors as well, but, I guess I get a little carried away at times. I truly understand where they are coming from. But, at the same time, why would I not buy things for my baby and when she comes, she will have nothing to come home to. I think that is being a little too paranoid. I mean, no offense to the women who wait until the baby is actually here. But, at the same time, if EVERY pregnant woman stressed out about the technician having a chance at being wrong, how would that be? Like, every one does not have money to be able to go on a shopping spree all at once when the baby first gets here. And, some feel like when they have the money and see the things they need, its best for them to get it then. Me, personally, I am not worried about the money issue...you know, not having the money to do it all at once when she gets here. Its, just the simple fact is, all the stuff I see now that I really do adore, its a very strong chance that it may not be there when my baby gets here. And, if my technician is wrong then that is something that I will have to deal with. But, I am not going to let my baby come into this world with nothing when her mother had the opportunity to get her something...but didnt because I was afraid the technician may be wrong. Thats not cool!!! It also seems a lot cheaper if I just get things one buy one...like I have been doing for the past two months. And now, I have almost everything I need and it feels like I have not spent much at all. And, friends and family are just getting on my last nerves. They will make smart comments like, "now, if that baby comes out with a penis, what are you going to do then?!?"...or like, " ugh...that means, your SON is going be wearing dresses and pink shirts, because that is a boy in your stomach, I bet your tech was wrong" ...or even things like, " you guys are so naive these days, when I had my children a long time ago, they didnt have anything to come home to besides the stuff the doctors provide until I went to shop for them because its no way in hell I am wasting my money on girl clothes and end up having a boy a few months later!" IT SUCKS!!! Am I wrong for being aggravated by all of this nonsense? Is it anyone who can cheer me up? Because it is giving me a headache! Think about it, I am 27 weeks, almost 28 weeks! I am waaay over my half way point! meaning, I only have 12-13 more weeks left in this pregnancy cant just sit on my butt and not prepare for my baby...to my knowledge, a girl...so far!
