Niece or Nephew?

My brother, sister-in-law, and I have been exchanging a flurry of texts over the past few hours about little Baby Simmons. Today they went in for their ultrasound to find out if they are having a boy or a girl. They’ve decided to keep it a secret for 24 hours, so I wont actually find out until tomorrow, but here are the texts we exchanged in the meantime…
