Baby: Boy or Girl?

On Friday, I realized I missed a call on Monday from the doctor’s office. Pat the nurse said that everything came back normal on the Maternity 21 test—praise God!!—and if I wanted to know the gender I could call back.

I went into the phone room at work. I sat with my calendar open, ready to write. The room was bright and I watched the cars on the street below me driving by. I dialed the number and when I finally reached her, she said again everything looked good and asked if I wanted to know the gender and I said, “Yes!” and then she asked if I had any thoughts on what it is. I really haven’t had a feeling one way or the other and I said, “I dunno, maybe a girl?”

She paused for a moment and said, “Nope, a boy!!”

I was immediately giddy and thanked her so much. She told me to have a wonderful weekend and I said the same and we hung up.

I immediately called T because I didn’t want to tell him via text, and I did the same thing the nurse did—I asked, “What do you think?”

He said, “A girl?” and I said, “Nope, we’re having a boy!”

I started tearing up a little bit.

We’re having a boy and I’m so excited!
