We just had our ultrasound for baby number five. As I’ve been saying, this pregnancy was one of those unexpected blessings, and so we had thought that for this one, we might just find out the gender. Well, I guess I’m just a sucker for surprises, I just couldn’t bring myself to let the ultrasound tech announce it to us. Instead, we asked her to print out a picture and seal it in an envelope. We thought maybe we’d surprise everyone (and ourselves) and find out on Father’s Day. Or maybe not.
The funny thing is, the envelope is sitting right next to me on the computer desk and I have no urge to open it and find out. I have less restraint when new email pops into my inbox. I guess in my mind not knowing the gender is all part of the wonder of pregnancy and it makes delivery that much sweeter. Carrying the baby for nine months, I get so used to the little kicks and punches and I feel like I know him/her by the time s/he’s born. I know I already love him/her.
So maybe we’ll choose to find out sometime in the next 4 months. Or maybe we’ll just let him/her surprise us one last time.
