The Best (Late) Christmas Gift Ever

We had our ultrasound on December 26th at 8am and found out that we are having a little girl!!



The ultrasound was truly the most amazing thing I have ever seen. You could see baby girl so clearly! She is about 6 inches long and weighs 9 ounces now. The tech did a ton of measurements to make sure everything was growing properly (which it is) and we told her we wanted to know if it was a boy or girl. When the tech was scanning baby's nether region, I could have sworn she was going to say, "it's a boy," because of what I could see, but instead, she said, "You have yourselves a girl." I said, "WHAT?" and she repeated that it was a girl. We were in total shock. After the ultrasound was over, I asked the tech, "So how sure are you that it is a girl?" She responded that no one could ever be 100% correct, but she wouldn't have told us if she wasn't sure and she's never been told she was wrong. So we accepted the girl verdict.

When we got home, we viewed the VHS tape that the tech made us of a 3-minute segment of the ultrasound. One of the first shots is of baby girl spread eagle and there are all the tell-tale girl signs, the black V and 3 dots. She is definitely a girl! The video also shows her waving hello and sucking her thumb. It's so adorable! I've watched it at least 15 times already and could watch it 100 more. I cannot wait to meet her :-)

We are just so happy that baby girl is healthy!
