I was elated when I found out I was pregnant, just as almost any mom-to-be would be. That joy felt even bigger when I learned I would be able to find out the sex of the baby ahead of time.
I have always been a planner. I am a serious type-A personality, and the idea of not knowing felt impossible to me. If there was information to be had, I wanted it, especially when it came to preparing for my baby.
So once I knew, everything started to feel real in a brand-new way. The tiny clothes, the nursery ideas, the little details I had been imagining suddenly had a direction. And somehow, everything seemed to turn pink.
