We're having a little girl!!

On Friday October 22nd at 4:00 we had the appointment to find out if we would be having a little boy or girl. An overwhelming amount of friends, family, and students thought it would be a girl. Ryan and I just wanted a healthy baby.

My mom was able to drive in for the big event and with Lisa staying with us, it was a family affair. In a small room packed with Ryan, Mom, Lisa, and the ultrasound tech, we looked at my little baby wiggle around for over an hour. The ultrasound tech looked at all the organs, took measurements, and let us know that so far it looked like it was a girl. She was only 90% sure, so we had to look more.

Our little girl was very lady like with her ankles crossed. We loved this but couldn't leave until we were 100% sure...it would kill me to have to wait and come back another day. We tried everything to get her to uncross her ankles and it came down to the other tech known as the "Baby Whisperer". Within 30 seconds of having the "Baby Whisperer" in our room, our baby unlocked her ankles and revealed to us that she was in fact a girl! We clapped, cheered, hugged, kissed, and cried happy tears.

I'll never forget that feeling of excitement.
