The results are in!

(This is my favorite ultrasound pic yet! So cool!)

We're having a beautiful baby girl!!!


Well, we're 99% sure we're having a girl at least!! We are going back in a week to find out for sure. After a total of about 15 minutes of searching on the sonogram machine, the Doctor only caught a glimpse of what we were looking for because the cord was in the way! She assured us she was very confident what we're expecting is a little baby girl. However, she realizes that when it takes that long to determine the gender, then the parents don't always leaving feeling 100% confident. So she's invited us back next week for another peek! We feel very fortunate, as there is no requirement for her to do so, and while we are very confident that SHE is very confident, we'll always welcome another look!

Needless to say we are so very excited about a little girl, and now comes the hard part - choosing a name!!

The rest of the appointment went really well. All of the measuring and spotting of necessary body functions looked great, and she was really pleased with how everything looked. We went in to see Dr. White and that went great as well. I managed to keep my blood pressure at a normal level this morning and he was very pleased. Impressed, in fact. He even had to be reminded if he had prescribed me any blood pressure medication the last time because it was so perfect. He said I wasn't out of the woods yet - that blood pressure is usually lower in the second trimester, and tends to creep back up in the 3rd. But as long as I can remain calm before my appointments and not become anxious, then he'll be very happy! yahoo!!! Such a relief!

So we go back next week for another look, and then go see Dr. White in early January. We were also able to schedule a 3rd trimester ultrasound in March!

Getting closer! It will be here before we know it!

This is a shot from below, but it's still not a great picture since the cord was in the way. It's a good picture of her long legs curving around.

Another shot of the baby before she flipped over to the picture at the top. This picture has her spine on the bottom.
