Just thought I'd share a little sentiment......during my first pregnancy I managed to convince myself that I was carrying a boy. Mind you, I didn't want a boy, I had always wanted a girl and could not see myself with anything but. However, I guess it was a defense mechanism kicking in to get me used to the idea in case it really was a boy, I don't know. Anyway, in my sixth month I attended Chi Omega's national convention as an advisor with another advisor and two of our actives. It was in June, in blazing hot Phoenix, AZ and let me tell you I was dying. The baby was moving around a lot all of a sudden, perhaps from the heat. Anyway, I was sitting there in a meeting surrounded by sisters, many of whom were legacies and there were also a lot of mothers and daughters there. Out of nowhere the idea hit me that maybe I was carrying a girl, my own little legacy, and that here she was with me at convention!!!! I got very weepy at the thought (as hormonally charged pregnant women are apt to do) and went around after that just knowing that I had a little Chi O inside me. So just after I got back home, I had my ultrasound. I can't even describe what went through my mind as the technician said "It's a little girl!!!!!"
