I had an interesting conversation with Anaiah (my 10 year old daughter) this morning as I combed her hair for school. I don’t know why or how this particular subject came up, but it did. We ended up talking about the names that were selected for my children should they have been another gender.
See, unlike most expectant parents today, I did not know the gender of my babies until they were born. When Jerry and Tiffanie were born in 1985 and 1987, routine ultrasounds were not conducted. They were only done as a part of treatment, I suppose, if something was wrong during the pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Anaiah in 1997, I did have regular ultrasounds because my pregnancy was considered a high risk one. I was OLD - (smile) – I was 35 during the pregnancy, turned 36 less than a week after the birth. But, I also had hypertension by then as well.
