20 weeks 5 days...IT'S A...

GIRL :)

All the old wive's tales came true and we're having a baby girl. I'll post the ultrasound photos later this week. She is growing right on schedule at 21 weeks and looks healthy. Her heart, brain, feet and hands were all perfect. She's a hyper little one, although it could have to do with the 1/2 a diet coke I had before I went. I was scared she wouldn't cooperate and I didn't want her to be in time out :)

So we got in the room and the tech put the wand on my belly and the first thing we see is her bottom and legs spread wide open! It took about 1 minute to see that she was a girl. She did well and didn't disappoint her parents or huge support system of family and friends that were eagerly awaiting our phone call.

We are so excited to be having a little girl. We're going to start the nursery after the new year. We went to Babies R' Us to register last night which was a lot of fun. I know I have a million more things to add but it's a little overwhelming and scary in there! I think we got the major things though so that was good. We are getting the furniture next weekend so that should arrive in February. Anyway, as it all progresses we'll keep you posted.

I'm so relieved to find out what pronoun to use! It makes it so much more real to put a face and name to Baby J.

Have a great weekend!
