The call came in last night around 9 pm. Earlier in the day my son and daughter in law had been at her doctor's office for an ultrasound. Finally, Eric and Christina would know whether Emily would have a baby sister or brother.
They didn't learn the results at that moment. Instead, they went out to eat and the sex of the baby would be reveal by what kind of desert their server brought to their table.
When he unveiled a chocolate brownie, they knew the answer - a boy!
This news was especially thrilling for my son. He absolutely loves Emily; she has brought out a tenderness in Eric that I hadn't really seen. They will cherish a little boy as well and they already have a first name - Will.
God is good and He has so richly blessed our family. We can't wait until October when we officially get to welcome Will to the Spicer family!
