We are having a boy! Emily is 20 weeks pregnant and we just found out the gender this past week at the ultrasound. Although we didn't have a preference for either boy or girl, it took us by surprise a little just because this will be a new experience for us--having a boy in the house.
Eliana and Karina went along to the ultrasound appointment, and Elvin came in from work as well. At first, the girls were content to watch whatever was going on on the computer monitor. Eliana didn't know what to make of things but was still excited to find out she was going to have a baby brother.
Then the girls got bored and started their usual antics. Elvin got a couple of surgical gloves and blew those up. That kept them occupied for a little while.
The ultrasound tech was a really nice guy. He might have small children himself because the yelling/laughing/screaming going on 5 feet away from him didn't phase him at at. Included in the CD-ROM he gave us was a short video. It shows our baby boy swallowing, he says. It also shows the heart beating.
Here is one of those fancy-shmancy 3D ultrasound pictures. It creates a picture that's a little strange, we think.
Emily is due at the very end of May or early June. We are excited and look forward to a very busy summer!
