It's A Girl!!

On Friday we had our ultrasound to determine how far along I was. We also knew there was a possibility of finding out the gender of our baby. That morning I had a talk with my little one. I told her that I needed her to not be shy. I said to show the nice lady everything so that we could find out if we were having a boy or a girl. The whole time I've been pregnant Brian and I both felt like we were having a girl. So much that most the time I did refer to her as she... and joked that we were in trouble if we were having a boy- and he would probably have an identity crisis.

So when it was time for the ultrasound we drove over to the office. I was very antsy... 1. because I wanted to know what we were having and 2. because I really had to use the bathroom. :)
The ultrasound technician started things out and was able to determine that we were 16 wks and 3 days which was a little further along than we thought, but not as far as 20 weeks, which is what was discussed at my last appointment. She then allowed me to use the bathroom and then said we would check the baby's gender.

The minute we saw the butt on the screen Brian and I both knew what we were having. The tech then declared, "It's a girl". I was so excited... tears filled my eyes. Now that I know what my baby is, it seems more real. Now comes the fun part of getting her nursery ready, buying cute girly clothes, deciding on a name... now I feel like we can finally really plan for her. I am so excited to be a mommy to this little girl!!
