We're having a....

After nearly an hour of watching the computer screen, a trip to empty my bladder, and lots of pushing on my belly to get its little butt out of my belly button, we finally got a picture of what appear to be little girl parts! The technician doing the ultrasound decided we might want to wait for a second ultrasound before we paint the nursery, but if she was a betting woman, she would bet on a girl! The three lines are the girl parts, but most importantly she didn't see any boy parts!



She took lots of pictures and measurements. Everything looks good and is measuring just about a week ahead of schedule. She would put me at a due date of June 13 but says the doctor probably won't change it. The little thing apparently likes to have her hands in her face and her mouth was moving most of the time! It appears that she is going to be a thumb sucker!




In other news, we are very excited to officially be an aunt and uncle! Maddison Kenzie was born yesterday morning just before noon Ohio time! She was 18 days early, weighed 6 pounds 6 ounces and was 20 inches long. It sounds like mom and baby are both doing great, and according to Grandma Kathy she's just wonderful! Hopefully Uncle Trever and I will be able to make a trip out to Ohio this weekend to meet her. Otherwise the kid might be crawling before we see her! I'll post pictures of our new niece as soon as Grandma and Grandpa figure out how to get them off of their camera!
