What Goes On Behind Closed Doors…

Okay, so admittedly, being taken into a dark room in the back of a mall and getting lubricant rubbed on your belly by a Romanian "doctor" may not be the ideal scenario for having an ultrasound. But when you can find out Baby's gender as early as 14 weeks...it makes for a really worthwhile Family Home Evening activity. Thus, we seized the opportunity.

In all fairness, the "doctor" was really nice. He gave us ample viewing time, and made comments like "I love this baby's profile," (shown below) and "this is good baby." So, really…nice guy.

Kate, too, "got to see Baby on T.V.!" for the first time. I think it was fun for her. We saw Baby stretch out its legs completely straight, which is something neither of us had ever seen. Baby also appears to be a right-hand thumb sucker (unlike Big Sister, Kate, who prefers her left). You can see in the pic below the right hand going in for the suck:And the reason for going...

drumroll

please...

We are so happy; would have been excited no matter what Baby's gender was. Even though we have all the baby girl stuff in the world (sigh...for thousands in lost $$$), it's best we're having a boy. This may be the last (so for sure, we'll get one of each now). Plus, after several weeks of looking over baby names of the pink kind, Dave and I were stumped. We do, however, have a few boy names so it all works out. Plus, we're so happy for Kate to have a baby brother! I hope they will be best buds.

After the backroom appointment, we had dinner and let Kate ride the merry-go-round. A perfect evening, thanks to Dave's brilliant mind and fun idea #1,908,674.
