So It's A...

GIRL! Dan and I went in for the sonogram today and everything looks great. Baby is developing healthy and everything. Also, we found out that we will be having a little girl!

It's so amazing seeing that little person up there on the ultrasound screen. I mean, I've been feeling her move around some, but to know that she's really, really there is just beyond belief. It's such a miraculous event that pregnancy and birth are even possible in this world. Looking up at that screen as the sonographer went through explaining everything just left me in utter amazement. I feel so blessed.

I'm not going to bore you with a ton of sonogram photos, because most people don't know what they're looking at anyway. ;) But, here are a couple of the good ones.
This first one is a straight on look at the face.

This second one is the obligatory boy or girl picture. For a boy, his parts are fairly obvious in the sonogram. For a girl, they look for three white dots/lines grouped together. I've circled them there. This view is from the bottom of the pelvis.

Dan and I are so incredibly excited to be welcoming a new member to our family. We're so happy!

Woo hoo!! So excited for you to have girl drama in your family! Girls are great, usually a little mellower than boys, but not always!
