It's a ......... GIRL!

We had our sonogram today and found out that we're having a baby girl! We are both very happy about the news. Even more importantly, we learned that everything looks great with the baby and she appears to be healthy and doing well. That was such a relief to hear and see!

Having the sonogram was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. We started out staring at a blank screen and then they started the sonogram and all of a sudden there was a clear picture of a baby on the screen - our baby girl! She was moving around all over the place...she's definitely an active little one.

They were able to see all 4 chambers of her heart, make sure the key elements of her brain were there, find her kidneys and bladder and make sure her spine looked ok. They took measurements of her legs, stomach and skull and from that determined that she weighs about 14 ounces right now (which leaves me wondering where the rest of the weight I've gained has gone...). You could just see her little heart beating in her chest, it was incredible.

I think the coolest part was when they showed a close view of her face, it was so amazing - almost took my breath away.


The pictures above are from the sonogram. The first is a regular view of her face and upper body. The second is a 3d profile of her face, and the last is a 3d view of her face from the front. After today I cannot wait for her to get here so we can see her in person!
