Sept. 25: Today is the day of my 20 week ultrasound, and I just can’t wait to get a glimpse of the little wanderer inside. I asked Andrew last night if he thought that the teeny tiny baby would be a sister or a brother. He said sister. Then I asked if a sister was a girl or a boy. He said a boy. I told him a sister is a girl and a brother is a boy asked again which he thought our baby would be. He said sister. So that’s Andrew’s guess.
I think Bryan has no guess about gender, and I’ve been quietly thinking girl from nearly the beginning. I’ve spent the last week trying to get my head around the idea of, “what if it is a boy?” I’d be pretty surprised! But I’d be delighted either way. I kind of see myself as the mom of a boy. I like the idea of boys and brothers. When I first found out I was pregnant, I was hoping for a boy. But then I started to get a girl sense, and at this point, like I said, I’d be really surprised if it was a boy.
So exciting! I’ll post an update as soon as I find out!
Althea, Bryan, Andrew, and Sylvia
