Although we did want to find out if we were having a boy or girl, Matthew and I decided we did not want to find out the gender of our baby in the actual ultrasound room. We wanted to have a special moment just the two of us, unrushed and personal. We did watch the rest of the ultrasound and had the screen turned off when they went “that way”. We had the ultrasound tech put the gender of the baby in a card and we went out to dinner at a Mongolian BBQ restaurant called 3D. After we finished eating, we gave the sealed card to the waitress and asked her to please open the card and write what the gender of our baby was in Chocolate on the dessert plate. She was very happy and excited to help. She had us close our eyes so we would both find out and the same time. When we opened our eyes Voila! It’s a Boy! Unfortunately we did not remember to bring our camera to the restaurant, but we did take some pictures with our cell phones. Enjoy! Also included are a couple of the ultra sound pictures of Ace (that is what we have been calling the baby because we are not telling what name we are choosing and I don’t like calling Ace “it” or “the baby”)
