On February 23, at 1:00 pm, I had another sonogram. My good friend Erin came with me because Tim couldn’t get time off at the hospital. He really wanted to come, but it just wasn’t possible. Before he left for work, I asked him if he wanted me to text him with the gender of the baby, and he said, “No, I can wait until I get home from work and you can tell me in person.”
The sonogram technician said everything looked great, which was a huge relief. I was so worried about spina bifida because I wasn’t able to take prenatal vitamins after about 6 weeks due to severe morning sickness.
The technician at first said she couldn’t tell whether the baby was a boy or girl because its legs were politely crossed. She gave it a couple gentle nudges and a few minutes later checked again. This time, even I could see its legs were wide open and I knew what it was before the technician confidently proclaimed, “That’s a girl!” No hesitation whatsoever.
After the sonogram, I texted Tim the following picture:
He texted back immediately and said, “I can’t wait. Boy or girl?” I texted him the first picture, and he said, “Told you.” Ha ha ha. It’s true, I was convinced it was a boy, but from the very beginning Tim has thought it was a girl.
We’re so excited to have two girls – sisters are awesome!
