It Was Too Obvious!

Well, I had my ultrasound yesterday and my intentions were to leave the room knowing the baby had everything it needed and not knowing the sex of the baby. Duane arrived late and I actually thought he wouldn't make it at all, but by then I had been on the table for about 15 minutes. We ended up having to wait 5 to 10 minutes to see if the baby would cooperate for one last important picture, which we didn't end up getting and will need to go back next week. During this time I told Duane that I thought I already knew what it was. One of the first images the tech had taken was of the eyes, which included a shot of the entire body. Well, the baby had its legs crossed, but knees open and there it was clear as day. If you haven't guess by now, it is a boy. Duane got confirmation from the tech as they conversed in Japanese and the monitor was turned away and I couldn't see it. As we walked out of the hospital he asked me if I wanted to know and I told him that he might as well confirm my suspicions of what I had already seen. I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway because the shot that I first saw was one that she gave me and it was very obvious. So much for not wanting to know! Anyway, a huge part of me is relieved because Ryan needs a brother badly. One of his first responses was how they would get guns and go play together. Duane had to break it to him that the baby wouldn't come out being able to play right away. He is very excited to be getting a brother! So despite my intentions, it wasn't meant to be and we now know we're having another boy, due March 4th, 2009.
