Drum roll, please...




Today was our big anatomy ultrasound. Everything looks great anatomically and growth wise. We saw heart, spine, kidneys, stomach, and lots of little bones. And, it's a ... GIRL!!! You could have knocked me over with a feather, I am totally surprised! Yay! Of course, they never promise 100% accuracy, but both the tech and the radiologist said they thought it looked like a girl. That means the heated debates about circumcision are over for now:-)
The pictures are great, too. She's bigger, but the same cute little peanut we saw several weeks ago. She was laying sideways with her feet on the left side, which explains why most of the movement I have felt is over on that side. The sweetest thing we got to see was when she was grabbing at her feet and had them both pulled up all the way to her mouth. It looked like she was trying very hard to get a hand or foot to suck on! A couple of the pictures are actually videos that show a quick bit of movement.

I've looked at the bottom video about a million times. So cute! It looks like she is arching her back, stretching out, and then sighing. Love it!
