If You Believe Everything You See and Hear

I'm sure I've shared this story before, but you'll have to excuse a re-tell on account of the notorious "pregnancy brain." Many years ago I was walking when a woman stopped me. She purported herself to be a psychic and felt compelled to tell me some things. One of those things was that I would be the "opposite" of my mom. She elaborated that I would have a son followed by two girls. Basically, the opposite of my familial birth order.

You're going to be surprised whether you find out at 20 weeks or when the baby is born. I'm thinking you're gonna be so overwhelmed with emotion when the baby is born anyhow. Might as well have that surprise early on when you can really savor it. Also, I'm a major planner, so I just have to prepare.
