I am having a BOY!!

This blog is long over due. Ever since my wife and I found out that we are pregnant I thought about writing a blog to talk about the process along the way. And now we are 6 months into the pregnancy and I am just getting to put the blog together. I will however dig into my memory bank and write about things I can remember in upcoming posts. So to start here is the short version: my wife Nikki and I are expecting in November and we have found out last Wednesday that it is a boy!! I think that this is where I should begin.

Last Wednesday, we had the ultrasound that would tell us what the sex of our baby is. This is the second such visit we had. At the last one a month prior the tech told us confidently “it is a girl!” After taking some more measurements, she left the room and came back to say, now I am only 60% sure it is a girl! Now that was useless info as we went in there with a 50-50 chance to begin with. And so the visit last Wednesday was necessary.

I got there a bit late but no worries as the doctor’s office was crowded and we still had to wait. Anyway it was our turn and my wife and I went into the room where the same tech from the last time would be administering the exam again. Well my wife got ready and climbed on the bed thingy (yes, that is a word!) and the tech went to work. Then, a bit hesitantly said “well I believe it is a boy, yup I am almost certain it is. Yes definitely a boy”

My wife who had picked up that it was a boy long before this tech did promptly said “yea there is the scrotum sack” to which the tech agreed. Of course I am nodding in agreement refusing to let anyone know that I could not make out a darn thing. Anyway we got a second opinion as another tech came in and assured us what my wife knew in a matter of minutes. And so there it is I am going to be a dad for the second time. But, my wife is giving me my son!!
