It's A Girl

Chad has been super busy at work. Starting a new rotation is always a challenge but starting a busy rotation makes things even more...well, busy. He hasn't been around a lot lately and has been exhausted. A couple days before the ultrasound I half joked with Chad that if he wasn't at the ultrasound I wouldn't tell him if the baby was a boy or girl. He called the next day from work (smart man) to tell me that he most likely wouldn't be able to make it. I was crushed, he was crushed but it ended up ok. I tracked down one of Chad's buddies and had him send a text page directly to Chad's pager since he was in the OR. When his pager went off the nurse picked it up.

Nurse: Dr. Watts were you expecting a page from your wife?
Chad: Yes
Nurse: I don't know if I should read it out loud, seems kind of personal.
Consultant: Read it!
Nurse: It's a girl!!!

I think Chad's consultant was hoping for something more juicy. Chad said it was a fun way to find out and I guess it makes a good story. We are so excited to meet our baby girl!
