Drum roll....

The most anticipated ultrasound apt happened on Tuesday. I had my blue sweater and pink sweater ready to make the declaration of our child's gender.

Both Nate and I had our guesses and " intuitions" but we were still very curious going into the ultrasound.

Our technician was much more chatty and helpful than the previous ladies. She explained everything that we were looking at throughout the whole apt. It was a much more thurough exam than before. She looked at the brain, the four heart chambers, the main blood vessles, the stomach, kidneys etc... And our baby's thigh bones measured at 3cm. :)

Finally, after looking at everything in great detail, she asked us if we had any guesses as to the gender. We both said we were thinking it is a girl..... And YES it is a girl!!!!!!

We enjoyed watching her clench her hands, open her mouth to yawn, suck on her thumb and kick around. It made everything more real to see her moving. I still can't feel her yet, but I guess that is normal. I've been told that I will feel her moving soon enough.

We are very excited!

I wore my pink sweater to work to help announce the news. My coworkers came running from the conference room to see if their guesses were right too. It was hilarious!

Now we are looking at little girl names and keeping a running list. I've already discovered that little girl clothes are much more fun to shop for. The consignment shop down the street has a great selection of darling little dresses and cute shoes! I'm very excited!!!
