“So, have you two decided? You want to leave it as a surprise, or should I tell you now?” Doctor Susan asked as she continued to look at the monitor.
“Yes, we’ve decided. Please tell us the gender of our baby,” I replied excitedly.
I could feel the tension and excitement in the air as Edward and I both held our breath while we waited for the doctor’s answer.
“Congratulations! It’s a boy,” Doctor Susan announced with a joyful smile that proudly showcased all the wrinkles on her face. It was such a happy smile and I wished that I could smile so radiantly like her when I got to her age.
“Wow! Did you hear that, Edward! It’s a boy!” I shouted excitedly as I lost myself in the joy of the moment. I would have been happy either way, but I thought we made the right decision of wanting to know right away.
“Yes yes, I heard. Congratulations to us!” Edward replied before he bent down to kiss my forehead.
I couldn’t stop smiling. In a couple of months, we’re going to become parents.
