Our "Little" New Years Gift

Now that the baby poll has closed and our 20 week ultrasound has been completed we thought you might like to know if you voted correctly or not. Believe it or not, more people voted correct than not! That's right...we are going to have a baby GIRL!! Everything looked great, but we will be having a couple more ultrasounds. One reason is we have agreed to be in a study that our hospital is doing which gives us the opportunity to have 2 extra ultrasounds; 1 of those is next week and the other one is around 30 or 32 weeks I believe. The other reason is that my doctor and one of the perinatologists have agreed that they want to make sure our little girl continues to grow well so we will have another ultrasound a month from now. She measured a little smaller on ultrasound than they would've liked to see, but they also realize that we have a "little" boy at home so it's probably fine; they just want to double check. This really isn't a big concern; it's just they would rather be safe than sorry. Our little girl likes to have her hands by her face, but she wasn't sucking on her thumb like Denver was constantly during his 20 week ultrasound. She weighed in at 11 ounces. We compared Denver's 20 week ultrasound pictures to hers and looking a the 3-D picture we can see a little difference, so MAYBE this time Mommy will get some credit when this little girl makes her appearance in this world!

We hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful New Year and that you will receive many blessings.

I can tell that she already looks a little like you!! What a sweetheart! I think you have maybe given me "the itch." A GIRL!!!! How fun!!!!! I can't wait to meet her. Hope the next measurements turn out well and that you are feeling better than the last time I talked to you. Hang in there! You're 1/2 way done!!

Congratulations!! I bet Evan is already adding up the cost of outfitting a girl. They are so much more fun to dress. I'm glad that you are not fretting over the weight. They can be way off with the measurements, especially that early. They were concerned about Ashlyn and thought she was like 4 lbs....she come out 7lbs 13oz. Also, not every baby is the same size. Look at my kids. Brooke is smaller than the rest but there is nothing wrong with her. She is healthy and thriving.

I bet you are so excited to meet you new daughter.

You are correct Cadi! I can just see his head spinning thinking about all the GIRL things he's going to have to buy. :)
