The Big News


We found out today that we will have a baby girl in February! We had our first ultrasound and saw our beautiful girl. We have to go back for another one next month, because she is already stubborn (like her dad) and wouldn't turn her face towards us. Next time we are hoping to see her lips and eyes (well at least the lids), and her nose.

Her heartbeat is at 140 and we were told that anything from 120 to 160 is good. We saw all four chambers and the aorta and they were doing their job.

The one thing she is very proud of is her leg. She moved her legs around like crazy. Every time the ultrasound camera came toward her she would flash her bum and wiggle her legs. The ultrasound technician said she could tell our baby was proud to be a girl because she kept showing us that she is a girl and not boy.

We are very happy that all is going well with the baby and can hardly believe that we are already in our fifth month. Time is really going by fast!

We really like the very best baby site. You can go there and look at the progress babies make week by week. We are currently on week 21 and so we can see how I am changing and what's going on with the baby. Moms-to-be can also track their weight gain, eating habits, and other items. We highly recommend the site. It's something that maybe Jeannette and Kathryn might be interested in as well.
