Who's Visiting Today?

And the baby is....

Sadly, once again, all I am able to report is that it is a baby! We went for our big ultrasound today and a tech and a doctor spent a total of about 35 minutes looking specifically for gender and saw nothing!!!! The baby had it's legs crossed and it's body bunched up and would not move. The tech even switched over into 3D for us at one point which was really really cool! Paul's really excited for the delivery now and the announcement of "it's a...." but I'm bummed b/c I had two distinct nursery designs in my head.

But, the much better news is that the tumor has disappeared!!! No one knows how, but it has! I wasn't even praying for that, just that it wouldn't interfere, but it has completely fallen off the radar. This news is worth it to not know the gender...

But, the flip side is that we won't go for any more regular ultrasounds because they aren't monitoring the tumor any more. So, we probably really won't find out.

It's sort of weird though, because we took that urine test at 10 weeks and it was inconclusive. We don't have names. After we found out we were having a boy last time we went to Babies R Us and picked out cute boy stuff for him that day. Today we went before hand and thought we'd pick out something cute for either a boy or a girl and come back for it, but we couldn't decide on anything really! So, this is just our anonymous little baby who wants to be a big old secret!!!!

glad to hear that the tumor is gone! you are going to be so excited once the baby is born and the doctor says "it's a...." it's so much fun not knowing. i know, i know you want to decorate the nursery, but i agree, knowing that the tumor is gone is worth not knowing the gender :)
