Due to some complications with my pregnancy (which turned out to be nothing), I had an unexpected, early ultrasound at 13 weeks. After checking the supposed problem, and finding there was none, the tech asked me if I wanted to find out what I was having. Scott was home sick with the flu, so he didn't come with me to the ultrasound. She said normally the gender is not visible at this stage, but she could positively identify the sex already. After finding out, I made a special dinner at home that night to tell the kids. We had hot dogs and salads, and for dessert, these boy/girl cupcakes. Everyone got one, and at the count of 3, they bit into them at the same time. If the filling was blue, it was a boy, pink, girl. Here's what they saw:
BOY!
The boys were really excited for another brother; the girls, so-so, except for Waverly who wanted a girl baby. The gender was confirmed at a later ultrasound at 20 weeks as well. Out of luck, Waverly! Just call us the Brady Bunch! (But where's my Alice?)
