Its a ...

GIRL!!! We had our 20 week ultrasound today and found out that we are likely expecting a baby girl! They can't tell you for sure, but what we saw sure looked female : ) This scan was a lot different than the first one - the baby was taking up alot more space, and she was moving around all over the place! She was actually sort of standing on her head at first, and it was really hard for the sonographer to get a good picture of her. But, she gradually moved around a bit and we were able to clearly see her heart beating (all 4 chambers), her spine (perfectly straight), some of the umbilical cord, her ribcage, her lips (no cleft palette indications), her face, hands and arms waving around, her little feet - it was amazing. And, the very best part was to know that she is growing and developing normally - a relief to know that all is well for her. We are still coming to terms with saying 'she' and 'her', I think my gut instinct was that it was going to be a boy ... but we couldn't be happier knowing that we have a little girl in there : ) It really is wonderful news! We went straight out to BabyGap after the ultrasound to buy a little dress - the first clothing purchase I've made since becoming pregnant ... it was fun watching Peter look at baby girls' clothes : ) We can't wait to meet her!
