Another Boy

We found out this morning that Drew and Gracie are going to have a baby brother. The baby seems to be healthy, so we are really thankful for that.

Am I allowed to say that I was hoping that we would have another girl? When I was pregnant with Drew, I felt sure that he was going to be a girl, and when I found out he was going to be a boy, it took me a while to adjust. This time I again felt sure we were going to have a baby girl, but again it's a boy. (For the record, I thought Gracie was going to be a boy, so I'm zero for three.)

The funny thing is that my husband's Granny has an uncanny ability to predict whether someone is expecting a boy or a girl. She has thirteen great grandchildren (plus this one on the way), and I think she has been right every time. She was even right when she told one of my husband's cousins that they were going to have a boy, even when their doctor said it would be a girl. We saw Granny last weekend, and she told me that she believed it would be another boy. How does she do it?

I can hardly believe that this pregnancy is halfway over already. At least I still have time to look through the baby name book for a boy's name.
