Baby Gender Test?

So, I've been wanting to know the gender of the baby. No, scratch that. I've been obsessing over the gender of this baby! What will God give me? A girl that is just like me? Stubborn, sensitive? Will she be "girly" and want to wear bows and frilly things (as if this baby would have a choice in the beginning...) or would she want to be like her mother and throw things together in the hopes that others think her quirky style looks nice rather than silly? Or, would God give me a boy? Uh... a boy. I'm a girl. I don't really know what to do with a boy. I don't know how to style boy hair. (Then again, I can't style girl hair either.) Beats me, right!
There is an over the counter gender test available. I was hoping at my doctor's appt on the 1st that I would have an ultrasound, but I didn't. I have to wait until March 1st to see my little bug. And really... that seems like forever! I haven't seen my little baby in a while! (I can't stand it! I cannot be satisfied with that hearttone thingamajig! I want to see the baby!!!) Well... Shel and I bought the test. The over the counter one. Heck, it's got a 50% accuracy rating, right? Ha! Several people I know took the test so we jumped in too.
I woke up Thursday morning at 3am, after having the second of two dreams that I was having a boy. I've had zero dreams of this baby so that got me moving. I took the test.
It's supposed to take ten minutes to "develop" the color related to the gender. Girl has an orange tone and boys are a greenish brown. The color was developing before I sat the cup down on the cabinet. Brown it is! I've not heard of anyone that this test didn't work on, so I am feeling pretty confident that I am having a boy.
Wow... snails, bugs, dirt and worms here I come. I'm going to be a mommy to a boy. I'll get "confirmation" of "equipment" on the first, but I think it's right. Wow... a boy.

I hope you're ready for this, because I certainly can't wait for your arrival. We've got alot of mudpies to make and worms to dig!
