I posted last Wednesday that we heard we were having a girl. Let's look at the method. My wife and I are in the "old" bunch having children, so the Doctor insisted we have a CVS test, which looks at Chromosomes to determine the health of the baby. My wife and I went along and they called Wednesday to tell us that everything is perfect---no defects anywhere!!!!! Yea God (actually, we felt like we knew that all along, but hey, it's nice to hear, anyway.
Next, the lady asked me, do you want to know the sex?
Of course, I say.
It's a girl!!!
I promise I was not disappointed and I would never want a child to know even if I was. But I was perplexed. All the way through the last pregnancy, my wife and I were sure it was a girl--and it was. All the way through this one, we've just been sure it was a boy--I mean really sure!!! But chromosomes don't lie, right--I mean this is a sure thing!!
But anyway, we picked out a name and began to celebrate how nice it would be to have two girls.
Then Friday, on the way to my wife's hometown, we got a call from the lab--we're sorry, we've made a grave error!--that's enough to scare anyone!!!
So she says, it's ok, really, but we don't know how we missed this one--we always double check.
You're having a boy!
So, now we're sure--it's a boy and we're prophets after all.
So celebrate with us again--but this time--it's a boy!
