So whats growing within?

Wednesday, November 16

Yesterday Mr. Dibs and I went to the hospital for my anomaly scan. I was pretty scared and excited at the same time. Excited because I was going to find out the baby's gender, and scared because I knew the sonographer was going to be checking for all sorts of anomalies with the baby, and no prospective mother wants to know that the little munchkin inside of her is not developing properly. Oh no....., I have not been eating all that broccoli for the love of vegetable!!!

As you might know, I have been announcing to all who would listen to me that I am carrying a girl. Yes! mothers can tell you know. Mr.Dibs on the other hand, has been most certain its a boy, based on his very unscientific theory that mothers are always wrong.

Anyways, to cut to the matter at hand, while the sonographer was going through the necessary checks, I noticed two dark spots, and quickly asked, in a mega excited voice

" Are those the ovaries?"

to which the sonographer replied, after laughing for a good minute

"No. Those are not the ovaries."

3 minutes later, I noticed a stick like something protruding from between the newly identified legs. I closed my eyes, willing THAT THING away. Oh, I thought to myself, I hope THAT THING is not what I think it is.

THAT THING was not meant to stay a mystery for too long, as I heard the sonograher say with a chuckle

" You see that thing between, the baby's legs? That, is a penis. Its a boy"

I can still hear the sound of Mr.Dibs laughing at the shock on my face when I heard those words, and when I realised I had been wrong all along.  After the initial shock, I am now as excited as ever about our little Maxwell. I spent the whole evening looking for ideas on what to make for a baby boy, and I am so happy I found loads.

Here, dear friends, is our little Maxwell


Rubbing his eyes!!

Giving a thumps up!!

  1. Congratulations! Boys are the BEST (ok I may be slightly biased!). I'm not convinced by Mr Dibs theory about mothers always being wrong though... !

  4. Yay! Little boys are fab, trust me! I was sure I wanted a girl simply because I thought I'd have at least a starting point of knowing what to do with one of those! But Mother and Son is and equally special bond. I'm just so excited for you. Great scan pics too!
    (Elliott was waving when we had ours!) Such a special moment for you both. Hugs and warm wishes :)

  9. Oh, wonderful news Dibs, I LOVE baby boys (but I'm biased too!). Your husband is so wrong! - we didn't find out the sex of either of our babies but I knew 100% in my heart that they were both boys! Lovely scan pics. x

  12. Hee hee hee - so.. um... what WERE the "ovaries"?!
    Hooray - little boys are just as much fun as little girls and you will soon find your favourite dungarees pattern and a stockist of multi-coloured striped cotton! At least he will (probably) never steal your shoes :D
