And the Baby Is.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



So, for all of you who were waiting to find out what the gender of our third baby would be, it's a.....














URGH! The ultrasound technician couldn't tell. =(
I thought I would be okay not knowing, but the excitement of the day and the thought that I'd be able to put an identity to my baby caught up to me and to be honest, I was bummed. Not to mention the fact that a "simple" trip to the doctor isn't so simple with two young children. Rob came along (of coarse) and we brought the kids. They were fine for the first 10-15 minutes, but let's just say Avonlea was getting bored and Lincoln wanted to get into everything (oh my...boys are so much more work than girls!). So, Rob took them out and walked around while we tried to see between this little one's legs, but no luck. I moved around, did some bending and stretching, but nothin'. She finally said that her day was pretty clear and for us to leave and come back in 30 minutes to see if our little one had moved positions. We came back and still no luck. We had all odds against us with

1. the legs were crossed
2. the ambiblical (spelling?) cord was in the way
3. the baby was breech and I guess it's harder to tell when they're breach

Poor Rob had to entertain the kids in the back of his truck while I sat (or rather layed down) in desperation of wanting to know who our baby was. Although I'm bummed, I'm trying to stay positive that this ultrasound went well and we're having a healthy baby. We already have one of each child and have clothing for either gender, so I guess I'll just have to have two seperate piles of clothing ready come June. =) Also, our nursery is for either gender (pictures to come). We'll just have to perk up during delivery to hear what he/she is. In the meantime, the waiting game continues as my bun cooks in the oven. =)

Aw man (like Swiper!). I remember that with Caleb, not being able to see. It was very exciting having them announce it on the day he was born though. Will you try again now or just wait?

Awww! I'm sorry the baby wasn't cooperating...hope that isn't a sign of what's to come! (hehe)
You have to admit that it is a bit exciting that you have a GREAT surprise waiting for you!!!

I'm sorry about not finding out the gender. Can you go back one more time for another peek? Maybe at another appointment? You're right, though, you have one of each, and this new baby will be a great addition!
