It's a girl!!

I know I am slow at posting things! I had an ultrasound on the 30th of July. It was a pretty cool experience! It wasn't a doctors visit though. Jeff and I actually had the opportunity to help a company model a new ultrasound system to some medical people at a seminar at the Marriott Hotel. It was totally free, and we are actually going to be paid for doing it! It was cool because they monitored the baby in 2 intervals for about 30 minutes each, so I got to watch her for quite a while. They even were able to give us a few videos of her moving! They also fed us a great dinner. I was so shocked when they said she was a girl!! I'm just so excited to be able to experience both genders. Ty still is oblivious to the fact that he is getting a sibling. Hopefully he will be able to understand before she is born so it isn't too big of a shock to him. I'm sure he'll be a great big brother once he gets used to her. Here's a short video of the ultrasound!! She was sucking her thumb most of the time and waving her fingers. It was so cute!!

You mean July, right? As I understand the 9-month thing, I don't think you had anything to ultrasound in January!

Ha ha! Thanks Kirt. Yeah, that would have been a strange thing to have had something to look at in January, since nothing was there, lol!
