I am a liar.
I am a big fat liar.
I am a big fat stinking liar.
I am a big fat pregnant stinking liar.
I am a big fat pregnant stinking blogging liar.
I know the gender of the baby. I've known for a L O N G time. I didn't tell anyone. Not my Mother. Not my Sister. Not my Dad. NO ONE. (well, Dave knew - he was my accomplice).
But I'm telling now. Why? Because I can't take it anymore. This kind of information is just too difficult to hold in. If it wasn't for the fact that May is quickly approaching, I may have held onto the secret forever....but May is almost here. My due date is 7-1/2 weeks away. Time to bring down the baby stuff from the attic.
This meant it was TIME TO GO THROUGH BABY CLOTHES.
And why would I want to hold onto baby clothes that were the wrong gender? Especially when I had so much of the stuff?
TWELVE BAGS (size newborn - 3T, in fact)
That is right - TWELVE BAGS of clothes that were gender specific. Now they are bagged up and sitting in my garage awaiting a new place and new babies. (still debating where to take the bags and if I want to separate them further; e-bay, Goodwill, garage sale, school parents with young ones)
Look closely at the bags - I think it is pretty obvious what clothes I am getting rid of. Can you guess? Do you think I'm deplorable?
I don't have to look more closely, I know....
WE'RE HAVING A BOUNCIN' BABY BOY!!!!
Name him Murphey...as in Murphey's Law.
(Oooooo, I SOOOoooo hope you told your mom before you posted this!!!)

(I guess it's obvious "why" I knew...there's no way you could have 12 bags of boy clothes...there's just not that much variety...)

OH!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
And now you get to go shoppin', girl!!

Yes it's gotta be a boy~some lucky person is going to have a field day looking through all those bags of clothes.

Yep, looks like a suspiciously lot of pink in those bags... hooray for boys!
(Or...... twins? Anything else we don't know??)

Unless you like to dress girls in lots of blue, I'd say you're having a cutie patootie boy.

I knew you knew....I just knew it was a boy - I could feel it!
Congrats all over again.

My grandma is rolling over in her grave -- I bet her babies had two sets of clothes.
Wet and dry.

I am so jealous! I would love me a baby boy!
Congrats!

Oh, HELL, a Rambo in the making! Yes, you are deplorable! LOL!

Well, you lied again. You DID tell mom and sister, just not as soon as you should've. So hey, I've been thinking about boy names. I'll email some to you. I'm so happy for you guys. I think Buttercup will have a hayday with her new little brother.
See you guys this weekend. Love ya!

12 bags?? 12 BAGS??????? good lord that's a lot of clothes. I don't think I even have 12 bags of clothes myself now!!!
Posted by: claudia | April 02, 2008 at 11:53 AM
You know what's funny? I had a feeling 1. you knew & 2. it was a boy. I don't know why. Gut instinct. If you need any boy stuff I literally have 10 80 gallon rubbermaids filled with boy stuff. Now? Are you revealing the name?

I'm the odd one out .. I see alot of blue and reds in those bags .. which would only mean you're getting rid of the boy clothes. I must be blind to differ from all these other folk, or maybe need another coffee! lol
Posted by: Rach | April 02, 2008 at 02:30 PM
Seems a lot of pink in those bags.
Posted by: Willowtree | April 02, 2008 at 02:46 PM
Hurray for the red, white, and blue! All great colors for little boy clothes...lol.
Posted by: Sandy | April 02, 2008 at 04:22 PM
No, not Murphey, name him Montana. :) Now I know why you didn't tell us sooner.
Posted by: Lisa's Chaos | April 02, 2008 at 07:05 PM
Only a girl could have that many clothes!
Hooray for little boys!

All that white... perhaps it's an angel? [giggles happily]
