We had an ultrasound done today. It was the one where they told us the sex of our unborn child.

But instead of telling us the sex, we had the techincian tell our camera.

And later in the evening we had an intimate gathering of the closest friends and family.

Oh, and we had snacks, because I love snacks.

And we all found out together; it was epic

Yaaaaaaay! I love boys! I love girls! I love when other people have babies!

So, you know all that stuff you learned about parenting from Berlyn? Toss it. This will be something altogether different.

All day my ovaries have been doing the Macarena. So excited for you.

Also, I just noticed there’s an ad at the bottom of your site that says, “Will you have a boy or girl? Find out!” Nice work, Google.

Congratulations!

This makes my ovaries ache to be let loose again. Sorry guys, no can do. So I’ll just vicariously enjoy babies through the ‘net! Except, I can’t sniff their darling little heads. Oh well.

Again, Congratulations!!!!!

BTW, the vid wouldn’t play when I first read this post, but I figured it out from the other comments (because I’m clever like that). Now that I see the vid, it confirms that I am completely lame at reading ultrasounds. I can’t tell what is what. Well, except that it does appear your little man has talons and a tail. Good luck with that!
