OK... So for those of you who don't know... we had our anatomy ultrasound on Tuesday!
We are having a Baby Girl!!
The ultrasound went really well! My appointment was at 2:30, so I was really bummed when I was in the car, on my way (with a FULL bladder) when the called and said it needed to be changed to 3:15.
So, when we got there at 3:15 we started the ultrasound. The very first thing we saw was a little arm and hand waving to us! It was amazing! I immediately started to cry! Then she checked her heart rate, and she was at 160 bpm! Very strong! Then she started checking her out!
We were able to see just about everything. Her brain, all 4 chambers of her heart, her bladder, kidneys, stomach, spine, and of course her legs, feet, arms, and hands! She is amazing, she is perfect, and she is ours!!
She is PERFECT, and she is BEAUTIFUL!
It is so amazing to me how fast you can fall in love with a tiny little person!
Our little girl was being stubborn for the ultrasound technician! She did NOT want to show us what was or was not between her legs! She was very modest! The tech kept bouncing the probe on my belly trying to get our little one to move or roll over... or SOMETHING! She just responded with a punch or a kick! It was kind of funny to watch! She had her little legs crossed at her ankles... it was SO CUTE! The tech was FINALLY able get get a glimpse between her little legs... and told us that she was 80% sure we were having a girl!
I think Andrew was a little bummed at first... he was quite sure we were having a boy! I had no feelings either way and was STOKED when she said girl!! I think Sophie and Ella are going to have a wonderful time with her! It will be so nice for them to grow up so close in age and location! (all about 2.5 years apart!) And how lucky are they all to live so close to their grandparents and family! (We just wish Jamie and Stephanie would live a little closer!)
Anyway... we are so lucky to have a stubborn little girl because it means we get to go back in 2 weeks and peek again!!! The tech was not able to check the bottom of her spine. So, we will have another ultrasound in about 2 weeks to check that, and double check gender, and prob. check on a few more things! The tech said she will be bigger then and we can do some more 3d shots!
Well... we couldn't be happier!! She is growing well and looks to be healthy!!
We couldn't ask for anything more!

So glad everything went well. I've got a stubborn one as well- he takes after his father :-)
We saw nothing four weeks ago, so we're going back on Wednesday. i can't wait to see how much he's grown already!
Yeah! Congrats! Girls are so much fun! Love the name, too! Some people think it is odd to have the name picked out before the baby is born but I'm like you and want the name already settled and start decorating the room with it! I'm so excited for you guys!
