This afternoon we are headed in for our ultrasound. It was actually a good thing to not find out the first time because I think both Tamara and I were just on pins and needles to find out the gender results. The let down was actually a good thing, and now we can go in for this second ultrasound and enjoy the results either way (although my one remaining anxiety is STILL not knowing the gender and staring at the unpainted drywall in the kids bathroom and wondering which color to choose.

Here are some pics from our first ultrasound:

Guinevere is playing with a Paper doll book that she bought with her allowance yesterday at Target. I am amazed at the mileage she can eek out of a dozen sheets of cardboard.

Getting back to the whole ultrasound issue, it is a strange date to keep; In a couple hours we will have this little magic portal opened to gaze upon our baby and then that window will close and the next time we see him or her will be at birth. It makes it more significant to get to do this a second time around. After looking at the ultrasound pictures the second viewing will actually give us confirmation of personality. Will the make the same pawing gestures at their face? Will the baby still crimp its legs shut and cup about with their hands? This time around we will begin stitching together the anecdotes on this baby into a narrative.
