My husband and I were planning to have another child. “My dream is to be a father of 2,” he often said. Our older and only daughter was about to turn 7, so we thought it would be a great time to try and have another child, so she could enjoy her little brother (or sister?) while they were both kids.
After my period was delayed more than 5 weeks, I decided to make an appointment with my GP and he broke the news. “Congrats, Chrissy! You’re pregnant!” and we were both so happy!
But my husband said something to me he’d never told me before. I’ve had Jessy already and after knowing about my pregnancy, he told me he couldn’t handle another woman in the house. So if “I don’t give birth to a male heir, I should leave the house.”
During a regular ultrasound exam, I was told that it was a girl. I didn’t know what to tell my husband, so I lied. When I arrived home, he asked me, “How was the exam? What did the doctor say?”
