Boy or Girl?

 While we were in California we decided to get a 3D ultrasound to find out what we were having.  I was 16 weeks at the time and didn't want to wait until my 20 week appointment.  We thought it would be fun to take the whole family and find out together. 
  We all pile into the tiny room and Matt tells the technician to NOT tell us the gender.  Instead, she put it in an envelope for us to open at home.  I was so mad! It was torture to wait an hour more! My mom called the bakery and had a cake made, and had the technician get on the phone and tell them whether to put pink or blue frosting on the inside.
  Once I hit 6 weeks of my pregnancy, I knew it was a girl.  Why? I was SICK.  Probably the sickest I have been.  So Matt and I knew it was going to be a girl.  Kash and Ella however knew it was going to be a BOY.  That is what they had their little hearts set on.  Especially Kash, who REALLY wanted a brother. 
  Ella and Kash cut into the cake at the same time, and pulled out their knives and saw....PINK.  And then came the TEARS.  Pure devastation.  Inconsolable children.  Matt had to take them to the couch to calm them down.  They were so upset.  Ella actually said, "But Mom, what if she is just like EVIE?"  I felt so bad and worried that they would not love this baby girl!  After a couple days however they were completely over it and are now excitedly talking about their baby sister.  Phew. 
Here they are about to cut into the cake, still happy.
 Everyone is so excited...
 And then the horrific realization...How could this be?
 My sad babies. Sorry guys, we are not trying again for a brother!
