We are having a girl!

I just had my 20 week appointment and found out that we are having a girl! This is shocking to me because I was completely convinced that we were having a boy. I just figured by how much the baby kicks me that it must be a crazy little boy in there...but I was definitely wrong.

The ultrasound was awesome. They had a huge flat screen that we were able to watch on, which was nice because we were able to see all of the different body parts really well. Right away the woman doing the ultrasound knew it was a girl because the baby was sitting with her legs spread wide open.

Throughout the entire ultrasound our little baby was moving around like crazy (I think she takes after her dad, he was an energetic little kid). Most of the time she had her legs up by her head. We were able to get really clear shots of her heart, spine, and brain and everything looks great! The baby weighs 11 oz and seems to be just the right size for 20 weeks.

After the ultrasound I met with my doctor. I have gained a total of about 6 lbs. and everything is looking good. They sent us home with tons of pictures from the ultrasound and a DVD. We even got a special picture for each set of grandparents.

It was so fun getting to finally see our little girl and we can't wait until she comes. Now we can begin all of the work on the nursery!

  1. CUTE! Congrats! I'm so excited for you guys! I always secretly hope babies are girls. They seem so much cleaner and nicer than boys, for some reason....not sure why :-)

  2. You might want to start looking into refinement schools if she is already sitting like that and kicking so much... I will spend a day next week calling around for you. COnGrAts!

  4. Kambree was a wiggling one and never minded showing off that she was a girl either. Now she is all over the place and into EVERYTHING. I can't wait to see how you do the nursery, I am sure it will be so cute. Did you start your new job yet?
