The Ultrasound

I went to Kim’s ultrasound on Friday. This is baby #4 so, like everything else pertaining to the birth of the baby, I know my place and don’t say much unless I’m asked. Basically, I’m there to hand over the insurance card. That’s my big contribution.

Our ultrasound technician was a very bubbly, friendly women. I remember the first time I looked at an ultrasound screen, I couldn’t make out anything. The technician would be going on about this or that and I’d sit there and nod as I looked at the screen with absolutely no idea what she was seeing.

But this time the technician took the time to point out the obvious (to her) features. One screen showed the baby’s spine. Another a hand or lips or leg. And then she brought up a screen and said, “This is definitely a boy!”

So Luca was right. Another boy will make two girls and two boys, and we are thrilled. I’ve never given much thought about the sex of the baby, but Luca was convinced she was getting a “baby Lincoln” and I didn’t want to tell her she was going to get a “baby Anna” instead.

One Anna Lynn is perfect but PLENTY!
