Okay, if you do not want to know if our baby is a boy or a girl do not read any further.....dad! :) I am sure my dad is not the only one that wants to be surprised on June 21st! So to all that want to be surprised, here is your heads up!
Today we went to the doctor for our 20 week checkup which involved an ultrasound. Before I get into all of the details, I will share what we are having! We are having a baby girl! We are both very excited. I thought that we were having a girl all along, mostly based on a few wives tales. I am a believer, but Andrew is still on the fence when it come to predicting the gender of a baby based on a wives tale.
Our little girl showed that she has a bit of a stubborn streak in her. She did not want to cooperate with the technician this morning. She is also a very active baby! She was bouning all over the place! But with a little patience and effort from the technician we were able to see most of her organs, head, spine, arms, legs, feet, and her face. She enjoyed kicking my bladder (which was rather full) as well. Her face is cute, but we have no clue who she looks like! I am hoping that she has her daddies dimples and brown cruly hair like her mother. I cannot wait for June 21st to come. We were not able to get a good picture of her on her side. She loved laying on her stomach and was not willing to turn....even with some pushing on my belly. She would move around but never quite left her comfy position of laying on her belly. She weighs about 20 ounces and is about the size of a can of coke. Right now she is laying at an angle. Her head is on the upper right side even with my belly button and her legs are to the lower left near my bladder. Right now her heart rate is 150. It was wonderful to hear the strong, fast beating of her heart.
We don't have an official name picked out yet. There are several girl names that we like. We do know that her middle name will be Tracy. Now we just have to find the perfect first name!
We will post the ultra sound pictures soon for all to see. Thanks for sharing in our special time. We are so excited to be parents! Quincy is thrilled to be a big brother. He has no idea what is around the corner!
