It's A...

My Dad and Lia went with David and I to my ultrasound appointment yesterday. I had the US tech write down the gender of the baby on a card and sent Papa and Lia shopping while I finished with my appointments. The four of us met for lunch then Papa presented us with a gift. Lia was quite excited to get new blue and green clothes for her sister. Ummm...I think we have some explaining to do!

David wanted to be with Jacob when he found out he's getting a brother.  This morning before school we gave each child a blue balloon and told them that was for their new brother.  Jacob was quite thrilled - even though he's been saying all along he wants a sister.  His smile and excitement were priceless.  Lia is still insisting that it's a girl baby in Mommy's tummy and she's going to have a sister.  Oh boy!

Cute little side story - yesterday as the US tech was checking on Baby Boy she switched modes on her machine from 2D mode to 3D mode.  Lia had been used to seeing the black and white images of the baby in 2D and did not like the orangeish/brownish images she saw in 3D.  She told the tech "I want the white baby back!".  We all had a good chuckle.
