It's a girl!!!! And most importantly, she is healthy and whole! Everything looks great - heart, brain, spine, kidneys, etc. That is what we were most wanting to hear today, and finding out that it's a girl was just icing on the cake! We are both so excited!! I cried when she announced "It's a girl!" We would have been tickled either way, but it was a very emotional moment when we found out. It was so amazing to see our baby girl! We are in awe of our little wonder already, and we can't wait to meet her in September! She put on a little show for us, too: turning, moving about, and playing peek-a-boo thru her tiny arms. Per the ultrasound measurements, she weighs about 11 ounces and is right on schedule at 19wks, 5days. Her heartbeat today was 139 BPM, the dark spot on the third picture is her heart.
I know she will be Daddy's little girl! She already holds a special place in his heart, you could see it in his eyes today when we found out! There is just something very special about a dad and his daughter. Now if we can just decide which shade of pink to paint the nursery! :) I will be very busy over the next couple of months buying dresses and collecting hair bows-one in every color, so we always match.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers that all might go well over the next 20 weeks! We're half way there!
