Week 20
Today was an exciting time for the Malucci family. They were going to try to find out the sex of the baby out. They weren't exactly sure if they wanted to know yet though. The scare that Ireland gave them a couple of weeks ago had really set their minds off on this pregnancy. They wanted to make sure this baby was okay more than finding the sex out. Dave held the sleeping Ireland as he helped his wife out of the car.
"I swear, I am bigger than I was yesterday." Randi groaned arching her back to get the knots out. Dave chuckled leading her into the hospital.
"You're just being a hypochondriac." He said holding the door open for her; "You're looking sexy so there's noting to worry about."
"You're my husband. You're suppose to say that." She winked signing in her name at the desk. She rubbed her belly feeling the child move within her.
"Dr and Mrs. Malucci." Janet smiled stepping out of her office. Dave squeezed Randi's hand as they walked in. "She's getting big."
"Oh jeez. Thanks, Dr. Coburn." Randi moaned. Janet laughed.
"I mean your daughter." Janet smirked. Dave grinned helping onto the table.
"She's eight months old and getting into everything." Dave smiled.
"Walking yet or crawling like crazy?" Janet smiled.
"Crawling. We had a scare with the pool, but everything is okay." Dave said rubbing Ireland's back as she started to wake.
"Well, good." Janet said, "How have you been feeling Randi?"
"Extremely tired. I don't think running after Ireland helps much." She said, "I've been a lot more sore this time around also."
"All normal." Janet smiled, "You want to find out the sex today right?" Randi and Dave exchanged looks.
"We're not really sure yet." Dave admitted. Janet admitted.
"That's normal." She said, "Why don't I write the sex down and put it in an envelope and when you're ready you can open it up and fine out." Randi smiled.
"You'd do that?"
"Of course." Janet smiled, "Let's take at the baby first." Randi nodded and lifted her shirt up so Janet could squirt the gel on. Dave sat down next to Randi giving Ireland her bottle. Randi giggled softly. "There it is."
"Oh god." Randi smiled softly looking at the screen. There was their baby waving at them. "It looks like Ireland." Dave chuckled.
"How does it look?" He asked.
"Beautiful and completely healthy." Janet said, "Strong heart beat and strong movements. Are you sure you don't want to know the sex right now?"
"We're sure." Randi chuckled. Dave sat Ireland up and pointed to the screen.
"There's you're little brother or sister, Pumpkin." He said, "Your very own sibling to bully around."
"Don't give her any ideas." Randi smiled as Janet wrote down the baby's sex on a piece f paper and sealed it in an envelope. She handed it to Dave.
"The sex is in there. Open it up when you're ready." Janet smiled as she wiped off Randi's stomach. "Next month, I want to do a glucose test." Randi groaned pulling her shirt down. "Run a few other tests. The usual stuff."
"I know. Thanks." Dave helped Randi off of the table.

Dave put Ireland in the highchair as Randi slid into the booth. They were going o celebrate having a healthy child. The waitress walked up to them and took their order.
"This pregnancy is going too quickly." Randi said.
"You said that last time." Dave chuckled nibbling on the roll the rolls that were placed in front of them. Ireland giggled as she gnawed on one.
"I know, but its true. We're already half way there." She said, "We have a healthy child. The sex of it in that envelope." Dave put the envelope on the table and they all stared at it. "So…it's in there…."
"Yup." Dave said tying a bib around Ireland. The waitress walked up and placed their pasta in front of them.
"Can I get you anything else?" She asked.
"Yeah. In this envelope, the sex of our new baby is there." Randi said handing the waitress the envelope. "We don't want to know, but you read. I need someone to know." The waitress laughed looking at the piece of paper in the envelope. "Is it a boy?"
"Maybe." She smiled.
"Is it a girl?" Randi asked.
"Maybe." The waitress chuckled walking away. Dave and Randi looked at the envelope. Ireland picked it up and started to chew on it. Randi bit her lip.
"This is killing me." Randi said. Dave nodded.
"I can't do this." He said, "I need to know."
"Me too." She said. They both looked at Ireland.
"Are you sure you want to know?" He asked.
"I'm sure." Randi whispered.
"Ireland…We want to know." Dave said trying to take the wet envelope from her. She whined chewing on it harder.
"Ireland Grace give it to us now." Randi tugged the envelope from her. She pulled the paper out, only to find the ink all runny. "I can't read it! Dave! What do it say?" Dave looked at the paper and couldn't make Janet's handwriting out.
"I don't know." Dave said. They looked at each other and bolted from their seat, "HEY!!!!!" Their waitress looked at them with a confused look on her face.
"I know we said we didn't want to know the sex, but we talked about it." Randi said.
"And we decided we wanted to know." Dave said. Randi nodded.
"Please. Tell us."
"Are you sure?" The waitress asked. They both nodded,
"Please yes." Dave said, "Don't toy with us. You're tip is riding on this." The waitress laughed loudly.
"Is that so?" She smiled, "Well, You're having a girl."
"Another girl?" Randi's eyes filled with tears. Dave's face broke out in a huge grin.
"A girl!" He cried wrapping his arms around Randi, "We're having a girl. You hear that, Ireland?? You're getting a sister." Ireland giggled as she chewed on a roll. Dave kissed Randi softly.
"A girl." Randi whispered. She would soon have two beautiful baby girls.
