GREAT NEWS!

I'm going to have a nephew! My brother and his wife had their ultrasound today, and they said 100% it's a boy! (Just what every dad would like to hear, right?)

I'm so excited, I can't wait to go shopping (for yarn, probably!) He'll be here in late February so he'll need a few little handmade sweaters by his Aunt Beth for sure.

Late February, huh?
That's when Mary was born.
And it was on 9/14 of 2006 when they said, (via 3D Ultrasound!!!) "It's a boy!"
So I went out and bought all the adorable boy stuff I could get my hands on.

And then in November, I made this post:

I would have bet you 8 million dollars that was a penis. I watched that video over and over again. Apparently, before the labia develop (quite late into pregnancy) the girl parts look remarkably similar to boy parts.

Anyhow, congratulations on your niecephew or nephce!
And congrats to your brother and sister in law!

Oh my gosh Ma!!! I can't believe it!

Beth,
The best part was when the tech said, "And you guys know what it is, right?" and I said, "Oh, yeah, it's a boy" and eyes got wide and she said, "Noooo, it's a girl" and I said, "No, no, I've seen the penis. It's a boy" and she shook her head and said, "Noooo, it's a girl."

I was freaking. out. for about an hour.
Crying, laughing, shaking.
It was the best, in hindsight, but I DID NOT think it was funny at the time. (That was nervous laughter.)

Actually Ma, my SIL is due on Feb. 20. Isn't that Mary's birthday?

Heather said...

Beth,
Yep, that's Mary's birthday!
(But she was actually due on Valentine's Day.)
