Soulful Thoughts of Rachel

My son is turning five years old next week. A few years have already passed but I still remember how excited my husband and I were to learn the gender of our baby. Some friends urged us not to ask our doctor about the baby’s gender. They claim that keeping it a suspense until the last minute will make the day of birth more exciting. My husband and I, however, just couldn’t contain our excitement. We wanted to know right away because we wanted to start buying clothes and things for our baby. Knowing the gender would be a great help when it comes to buying baby things. We found out that we were going to have a baby boy during the ultrasound. At that time, the 3D ultrasound was still new so I only had the 2D ultrasound. I still have that special piece of paper which I have added to my son’s baby book. When we learned we were going to have a baby boy, we started thinking of baby boys names and after so many choices, we ended up with the name Yohan. It is derived from my husband’s favorite soccer player, Johan Cruyff.
