"Mommy, AURUS!"

Last week we had our 20 week ultrasound. We decided to have it be a family thing, so Scott and Papu came with me. I had previously felt that we were going to have another boy, but in the last little while I had started to have my doubts, so we were excited to actually find out which one this hard kicker is.
As the technician started the exam, Papu looked at the screen and knew at once what it was: "Mommy! Nemo!" he yelled pointing at the screen. Soon he realized his mistake and, being the smart kid that he is, corrected himself exclaiming, "Mommy! Aurus!" which means "Mommy, Dinosaur!" (Dinosaurus in Finnish)
I had a hard time not laughing as he would not stop yelling "dinosaur!" until Scott steered his attention to his Thomas the Train toy. Any time they came back to look at the screen, Papu would yell, "Mommy! AURUS!"
The technician had a hard time concentrating and our little baby was being really shy and had legs and cord all in the crotch area. Finally our technician was sure that, in fact there was no dinosaur in my uterus, but a baby GIRL!
