IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

Okay! Now we can stop using "it!" We're having a girl!! First and foremost, the ultrasound today looked good...we have functoning kidneys, heart, and stomach. Brain looks good too. Those were the main things we wanted to see today, the rest was just a great bonus.
It was so wonderful to see all the detail...the spine, the chambers of the heart, the eyes, the nose, the fingers and toes. It really is a miracle. What really amazed us was how every little move I made or anytime I laughed, she moved too! The best part was when she waved "hi" to Mommy and Daddy!
She's defintely a coonass. She talks with her hands! They never stopped moving! She kicked her feet and scratched her nose, but there was one problem...she was being modest! Derek was very happy to see that. It took a few good pokes from the ultrasound tech to get her to open her little legs! Finally we got a look and the tech said that the 2 little lines were her little privates and there was nothing else to be found! So for the 7 of you who voted for a boy, you lose!!!
We are completely overjoyed with seeing the baby today, regardless of if it had been a him or her. It's a shame we can't have an ultrasound on every visit, because you could sit there all day and watch your little miracle moving and growing all the time. Thanks for all the phone calls and well wishes! Love you all!

SHE is Beautiful!!!! Her profile is beautiful like her MOM. I think she has her Mom's nose; of couse I'm prejudiced. I'm delighted that she looks healthy. I would have loved a boy but am elated that she is a girl!!! My brain is going overtime dreaming of dresses I hope to make for her. Derek, is it OK to now have lace on baby outfits? HA1HA!
Love Always
