Happy News...

Our little girl had everyone in the ultrasound room laughing as she rolled, punched and kicked as the the poor technician tried very, very hard to get some measurements. Luckily during all the horsing around, she managed to show the room she is very definitely a girl!

Being able to talk to my "daughter" and not an "it" anymore is an incredible feeling. We debated, as most parents do I suppose, whether we should find out the baby's sex or not...I'm glad we agreed to go ahead and find out. I feel closer to the baby, and much more excited about the birth now that we know. I know that this isn't everyone's experience, and I'm not advocating for one way over the other...this worked for us in our particular situation, and we are oh so grateful.

A lot of anxiety and worry has rolled off my shoulders, baby and I are healthy, and I'm getting more and more excited for labor and delivery. God is good - ALL the time.
