Because Simon couldn't attend with us he went off to work and whilst Dr Turner was rolling the scan-thing over my tummy (with Charlie straddled on my lap watching her intently) we got to see the little head and spine on the tiny black telly of what will grow to become his younger sibling.
I asked Dr Turner to write the gender down on a piece of paper and pop it in an envelope so I could take it to Simon and we could open it together. She was totally fine with this. She also said that it was very easy to tell what it was and she was very certain about it. Good grief. I had no idea if this meant there was a big willy plonked there now or if the giny bits were obvious...
Charlie and I battled the cold up to Simon's work, and standing in the lobby by ourselves Simon does the honours and opens up the envelope. Inside is a little yellow sticky note. And on it is one word scrawled in what can only be a Doctor's writing.
Boy.
And wow, has that word turned my entire day upside down. I was so convinced it was a girl. Certainly NOT dissapointed (incase that's what you're thinking) just slightly shocked and waiting for the feeling to return to my toes. I'm not worried about boys - I have one absolutely brilliant one already so I know I can mother them... it's just... can you imagine two? At about 9-10? DESTROYING MY HOUSE? I'm a tiny bit frightened.
I have had my hand taken by my Supervisor at work and these words "Welcome to our world" spoken so softly and in the meaning of "Mother's with only boys" goodness me.
What a whirlwind this is going to be.
And most certainly how happy I have made Charlie and even Simon.. I will be so totally outnumbered on family trips, I may want to go shopping but they will all want to go watch cricket or footy. 3 against 1!
But anywhos... This is grand news. I am excited, Simon is excited and as this slowly leaks out I'm assuming people will be excited too.
Sorry I lied to you at the Engagement party! I really did think the nurse was right!!
