It's a GIRL!!!!

Well the big day finally arrived and we found out that we are expecting a little baby girl! We were so excited to see how much our baby had grown since the last time we had an ultrasound (10 weeks ago). The nurse was able to tell within a few minutes that it was a girl. Even though Deven had been predicting it this whole time, I think he was still a little shocked to finally hear the news.

The doctor had to chase her around to get the measurements, since she didn't seem to want to stay still (hmmm... sounds just like her mom), she kept squirming and moving her arms and legs all over the place. Once all the measurements were done, we got to just watch her move all around while the nurse pointed out all her parts to us.

Here are a few pics we got to keep!
**The really white parts are her bones **

This picture pretty much shows her whole body. Her head, her torso (the darker/blackish spot in the top part of her torso is her heart), her legs (mainly the left leg) and you can even see part of her left hand (the little white spot above her belly).

So in this picture, you have to imagine that you're looking at the baby while she's laying down on her back... The dark parts on her face are her forehead and eye sockets (and if you look really close you can see a little faint white circle within the dark eye socket... that's her eye), then the rest is her torso again and the little white lines are her ribs.

This picture was the best we could get of a side profile. She wouldn't stay still long enough to capture a better one. You can see her nose and lips, her torso and part of her little hand again.

Here are her little feet and toes (well they are little for now, but if she's anything like her parents, she'll be a big foot for sure!!). We got to see her kicking and moving her little feet all over the place!

This whole experience has been so amazing! We can't wait until the big day when we can finally introduce the world to our little baby girl ...
