it's a GIRL!

On Friday, we found out we're having a girl! We both actually thought it was a girl - not sure why I did... I guess a feeling. The night before the appointment Trey had a dream it was a girl - and that as an infant she actually talked to him & gave him a high five. We went to the doctor's appointment hoping we'd find out the gender, but not positive since I am only 17.5 weeks. Our doctor checked everything out - the skull, the spine, the organs (which he would point out every one he was looking at and we just nodded in approval), the legs and arms, and then we went on a hunt for the gender. It was a little difficult since her legs were crossed and knees held closely together. At first, he said 80% sure it's a girl, and after another view said more it confidently. Of course, we were excited to learn the gender, but it was also fun to see something that actually looked like a baby and not a blob. I mean, sometimes she looked a little freaky, like when it would focus on the skeleton :) but she's absolutely beautiful, and definitely a little lady. The baby was measuring closer to 19 weeks, 10 days ahead of what we thought... so soon we will have a pool for the actual birth date, since the due date ranges from March 8th-18th! She was very comfortable through the entire ultrasound and only moved a few times. I tried to pay attention to what it felt like when she moved so I could feel it later, but I didn't feel anything. Everyone says I'll feel her soon enough. We've chosen a girl's name, but for now we're just sharing with friends & family (and still trying to settle on a middle name. We leave you with a picture of our precious little skeleton.
