and inside is a picture that shows the sex of my baby.
Talk about tempting. The office was so so sweet today and I stopped in on lunch and did an ultrasound. Baby is head down so they couldn't get a good face shot, but she finally did figure out the sex (baby was fast asleep).
She took a picture with an arrow and put it in an envelope. She then let me have a free 3D view but unfortunately it's just an arm and leg and chin because that's all she could see.
Anyway-DH is deciding. He is either giving the picture to FIL's nurse and letting her tell FIL OR he is doing the same thing but then letting FIL tell him/us.
I told him that he will always reflect back on this time as when his dad died, so if he wants the memory of finding out the baby's sex to be something he can share with his dad, then that's okay with me. But if he still doesn't want to know, then his nurse can just tell him. He is still there mentally, so I don't think he will spill the beans. He doesn't have the strength to talk much-just a few words a day.
So.... I might not be team green anymore after tonight. We will see.

I agree. It brings tears to my eyes.
Still keeping you all in my prayers.
