I am so excited to share with everyone that we are have a Baby GIRL :) The news hit us like a wave!
We came in to get the Ultrasound results and while we were excited to hear the gender we were most anxious to hear that our baby was healthy and developing well. Our doctor came in and told us the news. I think he thought we were most excited to hear the gender since he kind of flew through the other results.
"Spine is good, Head shape is good, Lips are good. The rest of the body structure looks great. Heart and lungs are excellent.
And you better buy some pink stuff."
I was already misty from the relief of the first information and then BAM! Henry and I had apparently convinced ourselves that it was a boy. I don't know if there could have been a bigger surprise! We are so excited. No matter what we are over the moon but now knowing just makes it that much more real.
A little girl :) Amazing

A Week of Waiting
We are going to get our Ultrasound results on Friday morning. *sigh* so much of pregnancy is waiting! :) I know I am learning a lot from this experience....even just in that one area.
This time it is being able to wait to hear the results. The tech (for good reasons) was not allowed to say one word to us about what she was seeing. I understand completely but when all you want to hear is, congrats your baby looks completely healthy and it's a .... (oh ya we still back and forth on this one :) Henry and I were talking last night about our fears in regards to being parents, and very much wanting our child to be healthy. We are praying a lot about this and even more so, we are praying for peace, to be able to leave it all in God's hands, to know that whatever happens he is in control of the situation. I am continually comforted by the knowledge that as much as we love this child already, God loves them so much more. So, this means that no matter the results on Friday morning we are excited and looking forward to meeting this little one and sharing in their life.
I should mention that we have no reason to believe anything is wrong. We are just like any other new parents who want to know that everything is okay in there ;)
On to another subject related to Friday, we are still undecided in regards to finding out gender! I bet everyone is just dying for us to officially decide already! :) We are thinking about special ways to tell family if we do find out, which is really fun to imagine. We were laughing at the idea of doing the cake thing, where the color of the cake inside told you the gender, and doing that even if we didn't find out and having like a vanilla cake inside.....so mean!
Well we hit Six Months this week! Where has the time gone! I'll be sure to post something to commemorate that milestone, as well as let everyone know how the appointment goes as soon as I can.
