Today's the day
It really is. We are about 20 weeks pregnant and my travel schedule didn't allow us to go do the sonography to find out the sex of the baby. Are we going now? Not really.
We went to Kaiser on Tuesday for the sonography and decided we did not want to know the sex right then. We wanted to make it special. Why special you ask?
Well, when Trish was pregnant with Eve would count not find out the sex of the baby. We were in India at the time and it is against the law for the doctors to reveal the sex of the baby. This was started in the 70s to reduce female infanticide. So, since could not find out then, we waited. When Eve was born, Tricia's mom called out the sex. It was a very special moment.
So we asked the technician to write the sex of the baby in a card that Tricia made specially for this. Tonight we will head off to a special little restaurant called Ohgane in Oakland. Before or during the meal we will open the card.
Yes, today is the day.
