On Monday night’s episode of The Big Bang Theory, fans quickly learned the gender of Howard and Bernadette’s second child.
In the opening scene, the couple is seen at a medical check-up, and the doctor starts discussing the gender. The couples reveals that the first time they wanted a girl, but this time there was no preference.

Then the doctor then reveals the couple will be having a boy.

The couple seems fine with the reveal, of course, but there was a hint of disappointment that it wasn’t a girl. That sentiment carries into the episode, as Bernadette disappointingly goes through some girl clothes the couple they had previously purchased.
“I just thought it’d be nice for Halley to have a sister,” Bernadette says.
Fans seem to be excited about the baby boy regardless.
See some of their reactions below.
