Isn't she lovely?

Most of you have heard already, but we found out that our little one is going to be a girl. We had a very healthy diagnostic ultrasound on Tuesday and it couldn't have gone better. Everything was just as it should be and her heart rate was right on target - exactly mid-range.



In this first photo, she's facing down and you can see her spine along the top of her sillhouette. Her head is on the left side.

This is basically her bum in a sitting position. The arrow is pointing out the straight line that tells that she's a she. Underneath the arrow you can see her right leg and the bone is bright white. The stuff in between her legs is umbilical cord.
Here's a face shot of our little beauty queen. She was even posing for the camera with her little hands drawn up under her chin. Look at that round little belly. :) Looks like she might have her mommy's baby body. Poor kid. At the bottom right you can see the front of her right leg. Her mouth is open a little in this shot - she kept opening and closing it during the ultrasound. It was so cute.
This one shows her heart rate - 143 bpm. Just right!
We are so thankful for a healthy little girl! Now we just can't wait to meet her! The results of the blood tests that measure for birth defects should be back in a couple weeks, so we're looking forward to getting that out of the way. We'll keep everyone updated! As of tomorrow, we're half way through the pregnancy. It's hard to believe we're already that far!
