Sorry if I seemed to confuse anyone with my last post. Here's the story:
With our first two we did not find out the gender before they announced it upon their arrival. This seems to drive most of our family and friends crazy! (Sorry... but it is really fun to be surprised like that! You should try it some time.)
For this child, we were thinking of doing the same thing, but decided since our 20 week ultrasound was so close to Christmas, we would find out on Christmas. So we had the ultrasound technician write it on some paper and seal it in an envelope. This envelope now sits under our tree in a pretty little package and is waiting for us to open it on Christmas, where our child will announce the gender. This way it will be just our little family, all together, and not in some cold room where I am awkwardly lying on a table and some complete stranger tells us the good news...
So that's what's going on in our little world... this is our compromise to all our loved ones who so desperately want to know if we have a little boy or a little girl for them to love.
Now, don't sneak in and find the gift and open it before we do.
That would hurt my feelings.

Sally that is so exciting!!! I have never thought of not finding out the gender I think if I attempted it I would end up having a nervous breakdown instead. I am the type of person who has to have everything ready to go before the baby arrives. Man if only I was a bit less OCD. I will be in town this coming week and want to see you. I miss our little chats :) The girls seem to give me crap about our conversations... they just don't understand how awesome adult conversations can be. Congratulatoins on whatever your baby may be!!!
Sally I think that is such a good idea. What great christmas present for your family!
