The Most Beautiful Picture

I remember vividly when Pearl was waiting eagerly with me in the ultrasound room. Before that we had already heard the miraculous sound of Ian's heart beat, that almost brought us to tears. And then the moment we had been waiting finally arrived. The doctor was calm and joked with us to ease our nervousness, and to a certain extent, our fear. Fear for the health & growth of our baby, as any parents would be.

With a swift of motion, the doctor moved the device up her belly. Then we saw the most beautiful image we had ever seen in our lives:


"Oh my God what is that pointy little thingy?"
"Is that what I think it is?"


"Congratulations! It's a BOY!!" Smiled our doctor.
So now the The Ancient Chinese Imperial Calendar of Baby Gender Selection was officially 86% accurate...
