Keeping the Sex a Secret

     Keeping the sex of the baby a secret. I always wanted to find out the sex of the baby. I like to be prepared, I don't like surprises and I wanted to personalize the babies room. After all preparing for the baby would be a great opportunity to make some crafts! Nathan however didn't want to know the sex of the baby. He wanted to be surprised. My only fear was that if I knew and he didn't I might accidentally let it slip. If Nate was going to know I wanted him to find out in a special way not by accident. So together we decided we would find out but keep it a secret from everyone else.
     When we told people we were not going to share what the sex was, some were a little disappointed, some understood completely, and some still have not let it go. I don't think people knowing the sex should be so important. I think the important thing is that Nathan and I have a healthy baby boy or girl. 
     Some people have said that I would slip, but I can honestly say I haven't. There are several people that are assuming the sex of the baby, they may be right or they may be wrong! The only advice I can give them is don't think to much into what we say. I have chose to say her or him randomly just because it doesn't matter. Nathan likes to call the baby JZ because it is either Jackson or Zoe!! Nathan's family calls the baby Marla Jackson....why I have no idea! The fact is, NO ONE REALLY KNOWS until the baby arrives. 
     Pretty much what it all comes down to is, Nathan and I are keeping the sex a secret. So people will either respect that or not their choice. But it is our choice to keep it between the two of us. We are both extremely lucky and full of excitement to bring home the new baby. I am sure JZ will love that their room and wardrobe is not a sea of pink or blue!
