Keegan and I found out that we were having a girl when we
went for our structural scan just after Christmas. Originally I didn’t want to
know the sex of our child and Keegan did - I wanted to have the surprise after
all the hard work of labour BUT as the days got closer to our scan and the
possibility of the sex being revealed my mind started ticking with everything I
could organise prior to the birth! I could buy gender specific clothes, the
nursery didn’t have to be a boring neutral colour looking neither boy or
girlish that I would surely change as soon as the baby was born and we could
focus on picking the perfect name. The only condition Keegan and I had on
finding out the sex is that no one could know we knew…..and that was the biggest
secret I had ever had to keep in my whole life – some days if felt like torture
lying to people and some days it was quite amusing. I think we succeeded in the
secret being kept, for the most part everyone was quite oblivious to it all.
I
loved knowing that there was a little girl growing inside me I was able to
think of her as a “her” not as an “it” and that it was our little secret. As
much as I loved our special little secret I loved decorating her room!
Originally I was going for a woodland theme but I think that idea fell off the
tracks slightly, but I love going into her room it makes me so happy and
cheery.
