When we first found out we were going to have a baby, the excitement was out of this world. Zoe and me have been married 3 & 1/2 years and a baby was the next natural step we wanted to take. (Even though I wouldn't admit that to the boys!) We went out looking at baby clothes and knew we wanted to buy our first outfit but not knowing what the sex was, we looked at the neural colours with such excitement and joy and Yes, we did buy their first outfit.
Over the months, since then, we still looked at the neutral colours any time we were out and about but I have to admit, I was itching to find out what colour I could be picking.
We had our 20 week scan booked in for Christmas Eve and thought about asking then what sex the baby was going to be. What an amazing present to ourselves to find out at Christmas! The days running up to this date, Zoe said that she might prefer not to know, well, I wasn't going to be the person going through the labour, so I definitely wasn't going to demand we find out. I was happy to go with whatever choice she wanted.
At the scan, we weren't even asked if we wanted to know, so that made it easier. Zoe said after, if she'd been asked, she couldn't have said no! Hahaha....at times Zoe can't hold her own water, very much like myself!
I'm glad we never found out because even though cream, white and beige is all we can pick from at the moment, in 7-8 short weeks we'll be able to go mad on whatever outfit our hearts desire. Don't get me wrong, if we had been told, I would have spent money like it was going out of fashion on baby clothes for little boys or girls.
When we go out and we get the chance to look at both boys and girls colours, we do ask the bump, 'What are you little peanut?'
A delivery room surprise, so at the this moment we are team, 'Cream, white and beige!'
