Sugar and Spice, and Everything Nice

That's right, that is what little girls are made of...and a little girl we will have.





This morning a small group met at the doctors office to be with us for the Ultrasound that would tell us the gender of the baby. You might have thought we were selling tickets to it, the nurse called Andrea, and there was a train going in behind her.






We soon got to see the baby, in a recognizable way. I was blown away by how clear the ultrasound picture was, the features were distinct, and easily understandable. Remember, the last time we had this kind of ultrasound, the baby was tiny, and looked like a little jalepeno. Now it looked like a baby. Andrea had tears in here eyes almost immediately, as did the two other moms in the room.

The baby as we first saw her.


The white arc is her spine...I thought this image was soooo cool.


After all of the measurements were done, and pictures taken, we were told that we have a very healthy little baby girl, with a good heartbeat, and all of those measurements put her at 19 weeks and 1 day...convenient, since yesterday ended week 19 and week 20 started today.

We are very excited, and look forward tot hew adventure ahead of us. Now we just have to come up with a name...
