...that's what little GIRLS are made of! Josh and I are thrilled to announce we are expecting a sweet little girl! We went to my ultrasound and 20 week appointment on Friday. The tech told us in the beginning of the ultrasound that she wouldn't tell us boy or girl until the end (of the 30 minute ultrasound) and that she would only tell us if she was 99% sure of the gender (she would never say 100% and if she was only 85% sure, she would ask us if we wanted to know) - she was 99% sure! Baby Girl was lying with her backside to us in the first half of the ultrasound, so the tech didn't know the sex herself until the last 5 minutes. And boy, was Baby S active! Rolling and flipping around, covering her face, crossing her legs... it was quite entertaining for us. The funny thing is, we had truly thought throughout the entire pregnancy that she was a "she." He or She, we would have been over the moon, but now we are getting prepared and anxiously awaiting her arrival.
Dr. Jones said that everything about the ultrasound looked perfect! Her heartbeat was 157 bpm and most of the ultrasound's measurements had her about 2 days early (which pretty much means nothing). She said that the only thing they didn't get a clear picture was was her profile but since everything else looked good, this was probably my final ultrasound. Next time I go in, it's my glucose test...I've heard it's really fun and awesome (HA!). I want everything to continue to go well for me and Baby Girl, so I will be fine :)
We kept mum about the gender for 24 hours, which was a very special time for both of us. The majority of family and friends thought she was a Boy, so it was fun revealing the big news. We are dang good secret keepers, too!
We cannot wait for this awesome journey as a family! Simply blessed.
Only 4 and a half months to go!
Much love,
The Smith Fam
