way. But if there were planes to catch and bills to pay I forgot 'em.
My wife decided before the pregnancy that we should be surprised, so
rolling in on Friday morning we did not know if we'd be adding a boy
or a girl to our collection. I've since realized that I had practiced
saying Leah much more than Carson. I was really preparing myself for
another girl though I wanted a boy.
As a side note, for those that didn't like Corie's decision, you
should know that though she was so hard core about not knowing, as we
sat in triage, she said, "I wish we'd have found out." Uh-huh. (Of
course after surgery she said, aren't you glad we didn't find out?)
Corie had C-sections for all three of our deliveries so we had been
around the track before. This time they brought the crown of the head
up and saw a full head of dark hair and said, "She has a lot of hair."
I was confused because I didn't realize that you could tell the gender
from the crown of the head.
Then the pulled out the head and said, "She has a very pretty face.".
I was still confused and resigning myself when the anesthesiologist
(sp) spoke up to say "I don't think you can tell from those parts.".
Hope remained.
At last they pulled him out and were surprised to see that he was
indeed a boy. YES!
