I have such the strong feeling that I will have a boy next July (and a girl the following August). But to give him adequate time to develop, I need to get pregnant this month! I hope I do. I hope I do. I hope I do. Now because I 'want' this feeling to be 'correct,' but rather because I know he is coming in July and I want him to have all the developmental womb time he needs! I don't want him to come early...
But on that note, I suppose it will be okay if he comes early. When I got the revelation I would have a boy next July (and a girl the next August), I did the math and figured I needed to get pregnant in November. A couple weeks ago (actually, I think it was just last week), I went to the temple with my friend and she told me that she saw a "due-date" calendar and it said that if you had a baby in July you got pregnant in October. I quickly did the math again and found out she was right! I spent the rest of the temple time pleading in prayer that I would have a healthy baby - I don't know if I missed getting pregnant in October. I told God I was okay with having a baby with disabilities - blind, deaf, diseased, or whatever - I just didn't want it to be because I had messed up!
On the way out of the temple, I saw a picture of the Savior with a young boy He seemed to be "presenting." I'm not familiar with the picture but the Holy Spirit touched my heart and I felt assured that I would have a healthy son.
(this is the picture - it hangs on the wall by the elevator in the brand new, and totally beautiful and my favorite - Brigham City temple)
...so I guess it is okay if I don't get pregnant in October.
And it's okay if he comes early.
And it's all going to be okay.
