  So when is the appointment?

  Two weeks from tomorrow.

  And they are going to show us a pictures?

  That's right.

  Do we have to find out?

  I don't know. Do you want to find out?

  Not sure. I don't think so. What about you?

  I could go either way I guess. I just want the baby to be healthy.

  So if the doctor says the baby is okay we just leave it at that?

  Are you sure?

  I don't know. I never had to decide before.

  You don't have to decide right now.

  But I want to. Decide. I don't want to know!

  Okay. We won't ask.

  I'll tell her. I don't want anything to slip out before I have a chance to not know any more. I got the rest of my life to know.
