95% Sure

Today was a big day for our family. We kept the boys out of school and we all ventured to the doctor's office together. Dave says that I should announce that we are having a brunette and leave it at that. As we were watching the different images of the baby on a huge TV, the doctor asked the boys if they knew how to tell the difference between a girl and boy baby. The boys answered no. He continued to explain to them that all they had to do was take a look at the brain, and if it was complete and well developed, then it was a girl. If there were things missing, or the brain was incomplete, then it was a boy....this is because boys do not have all of there brains until they are 16 years old. Andrew was a little concerned, and even after the appointment asked, 'Mom, is it true what he said about a boy's brain?'
Everything looks wonderful on our baby. I was hoping for a good profile shot, but the baby would not cooperate. We were, however, given a very clear shot of between the legs, and Dr. Bean says he is 95% sure that we are having a girl. I have to agree with him. I have seen quite clearly on all three of my boys ultrasounds the 'male evidence', and this was clearly lacking to me this time. I am still a little worried about that other 5% though. He says we can do another ultrasound later on, so that we can up it to 100%.
If this is the case, I am looking forward to all the happiness a daughter will bring me. Babies are such a blessing, and I am thankful that Dave and I get to experience this once again.
