Our moms were right!

The day has finally arrived. We are now 99.9% certain about the sex of the baby. It's exciting to finally know and we are happy, but we would have been happy regardless of the news. All that I keep thinking though is that our moms were right.

My poor husband had to wait all day for the news. I had a late appointment - made all the more delayed by a delivery that my doctor was busy with earlier in the day. After waiting almost 1 hour to get in to see her [with the baby performing aerobics in my belly the whole time] I knew Don would be anxious to hear the news. I was going to slip out to call him before I went in but I kept thinking that I couldn't leave because I would surely be the next person called in by the nurse. Little did I know I had a text message waiting for me from an anxious dad-to-be. While it was cruel to keep him in the dark, I think I finally got my revenge for all of those times I've gone by his office after work only to wait around while he took one more call, sent one more email or just had to tweak their website before he could call it a day. To be fair, I did call him as soon as I got out.

First off, everyone will be happy to know that we are all healthy and happy. My doctor said that the ultrasound looked good and everything seems normal. The triple marker test results came back too [to assess the possibility of Downs Syndrome] and the results were negative. I was so excited I forgot to ask if I could record the heartbeat. Next time. Then the doctor said that the report had indicated the sex of the baby and did I want to know. She asked me to guess and I told her we were both sure of what it was going to be. We even had names picked out but only for one sex.

When she told me we were wrong I did a mental groan. Don't get me wrong, I was happy. But again, I thought the moms were right and we were wrong. You know, I'm really looking forward to getting the mom-sense [kinda like spidey-sense I guess]. I think they must give it to you after you make it through the delivery. Someday soon I too will be able to say "I-told-you-so" and "a-mother-just-knows."

Now, we have a bit of a dilemma. Anyone know a good name for a BOY?
