Zen Baby

As you may have noticed, we are not finding out the gender of our baby before the birth. Which actually makes the polling seem all the more interesting. Girl is in the lead, and most everyone has guessed girl thus far which leads me to think boy.

Denver, from the get-go, has said girl, I think mainly so that when and if it is a boy he will be doubly excited. Either way, he's banking on being able to throw a football around with whatever it is. Good luck with that buddy. I'm like a dodge ball team's nightmare: I can't catch and I'm scared of the ball. Hopefully Denver's genes will win that battle.

In the mean time, nursery planning was getting tricky with no decided gender. That is until we made the decision to go completely Sprocket-style with our newborn. No elephants or fluffy ducks allowed here. We're sticking to wooden blocks and completely neutral decor. It'll feel like a European jail except with softer finishes.

Think back to what your nursery looked like...keep thinking...keep going...that's right, you have no idea what your nursery looked like because you don't remember. So it was decided that WE should really like the way all of the stuff looks and we don't really dig crazy bunnies and plastic gizmos all over our city apartment.

I know, I know, we're like total party-poopers, a la Lilith & Frasier. But we're okay with that if it means keeping it feng shui for our little zen baby.
