Baby News and more...

Well, we got back from a very worthwhile trip to the Philippines last weekend and hit the ground here running. It's been basically non-stop since we got back. We'll put a post about the Philippines soon, so check back, but for now- on to some baby news.

I (Russ) could see Jess's disappointment after our last ultrasound failed to reveal the gender of our baby. They told us you have to sign up for 3D ultrasounds, which is how some of our friends found out their gender. I thought I'd surprise Jess by sneaking back to the clinic and signing us up for a 3D scan for December 2. It was a hard-to-keep secret because I was anxious to go as well. The time came at the end of the school day, however, to spill the beans. Jess was pleased :)

We went in and had the ultrasound with a lady we haven't seen yet. We thought she was a doctor and we asked a few times for her to tell us the gender, but she flat out refused to help or even try. Finally, we called up one of our Korean friends (the lady didn't speak any english) and she told us that she is only a lab technician, not allowed to tell us the gender. What a rip-off! She hinted that she thought it was "Mommy-like" but wouldn't try to scan the "goods" for conclusive evidence. We are a little disappointed, but definitely have our opinion on what the baby is. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Make sure you look closely around 1:10-1:11, there's a clear shot there.
