IT'S A ...

Paul and I went for the ultrasound yesterday and got some great pictures of our baby GIRL!

This picture (above) shows the profile of our baby girl. Her head is on the left side, with her little chin tucked into her chest.

The picture above shows her lying on her side. When the ultrasound tech put the wand on my belly and I saw all those bones come onto the screen I was in shock! I couldn't believe that she had grown so much. The 20 minute ultrasound was one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had. You never think that something that alive can live inside you and need you so much.

The ultrasound measured me at 20 weeks exactly. The baby was moving a lot, she was sucking her thumb and moving her arms and legs. I thought it was so cool to see her move and realize that she moves so much. I have been feeling her move for about 2 and a half weeks now (since I was almost 18 weeks), but the movement that I feel is only every once in a while not consistently. I loved watching Paul's reactions to the movements because he cannot feel the baby move with his hand yet. The best part was watching Paul's reaction to the big announcement "It's a girl!"... I don't think I've ever seen his eyes grow that big. We are both SO excited!!

There have been lots of questions about names, however, we have not settled on anything yet. We do know that her middle name will be Kelly, after the hottest lady I know.
