It's a Girl!!!

Our ultrasound yesterday was great! After a stressful week and lots of frustration and irritation, we got to sit back, relax and watch our little one on the u/s screen for a while!

The tech started off doing measurements and looking at all the growth... baby looks great! We could see the spine and all the little vertebrae... it was incredible! Baby was all stretched out, just chillin' in there, happy as could be! We saw the little hands, arms, legs and feet... it is an out of this world experience to see a little person growing inside of you!

Then Matt asked if she had any ideas on the gender yet... I could tell he was getting antsy! She said, well, I'm going to get a better look, but I'm saying you're having a GIRL! I was shocked!!! I was convinced we were going to have a boy! Matt asked how sure she was... she said she would never say 100%, but she is going with 95%! He said, "I'll take those odds!" :) She showed us "the money shot", so to speak, and she had her little legs wide open showing us the "three lines" that indicate a girl! We're going to have a daughter!! Let the shopping begin!

Everything was measuring perfectly and she is looking healthy... they gave us a CD with some pictures, which is very cool! I'm still in a bit of shock... it is just too cool knowing what we're having! I don't regret our decision to find out before birth at all! I love knowing we're having a girl and I feel closer to her somehow.

We have some ideas for names, but aren't 100% on any of them yet. We're not going to tell until we know for sure. Ahhh- so exciting!

Well, I am going to try and post some of the ultrasound pictures on this blog... but I'm not sure how to, so it could be quite an adventure :) Hopefully you'll see them on here, soon! That is all for now... more to come!
