it's a surprise ... again!

So for the last month I have been mentally preparing myself for having a boy and then finally it hit me - no one ever confirmed that we were having a boy!

The ultrasound technician certainly didn't confirm it, as I had told her we didn't want to know ... and we haven't been back to see the doctor until today.

So I walked in to our appointment with the ultrasound photos in hand. When Katie walked in, I handed her the photos and asked - we are having a boy, right?

She knew that we really didn't want to know, so she was surprised that I was asking. I explained what had happened at Fletcher Allen and pointed out the penis ... she looked at it and said that it was hard to really know for sure with the 3d photos because it is trying to make images of things that aren't really there. (For example, the baby doesn't have any arms in the photo). She told us not to paint the room blue.

So now we have no idea. Perhaps it's as Shawnna says, that she just told us that she didn't know because she knew we wanted it to be a surprise. But Katie had also told me before that she was really good at reading ultrasounds ... I am still mentally preparing for a boy : )
