It's a ....

I finally had my 20 week ultrasound to check on the baby and find out the gender. When we got to the room the technician asked if we wanted to know the gender and I practically shouted YES!
She began the ultrasound and I was amazed by how thorough it was. She went through every part of the baby and gave us information, I was really shocked by how detailed she was able to get. For example, she could see that the baby's stomach was full, so she knew it was eating well, she also could tell that the bladder was full, so the kidney's were working, lots of information. It was great to see that the baby was perfect and healthy. Here are some pictures:


That's the spine.

Those are the bottoms of the feet, so cute!


Well I guess I made you wait long enough, here is the photo that shows we are having a little girl! It is really tough to tell what you are looking at but that is her butt, and the arrow is pointing at her female organs. The technician said, no doubt about it-it's a girl. She was pretty cute moving around and waving her arms while she was getting her picture taken. She weighs 14 oz right now, just under a pound, and the technician said her due date of September 12 is correct. We can't wait to meet her!

I won a dollar! Trust me, Adam and I will be making quite a few bets throughout your pregnancy.

I'm so excited you and John are having a girl. Really, did you have any doubts, especially since you craved that bacon in Vegas? I knew it then!

Guess I'll be wearing the Happy Hat to work tomorrow :-) She was cute waving to her Grandma! Thanks for letting me share that most wonderful experience with you. I'll never forget it. Love, Mom

Very exciting! My sister's having a girl too :) Loved the Crazy Cat lady story!

Yay! Her little feet are adorable. Of course the next question everyone asks is "have you thought of a name yet?" I'd like to suggest Laura. It has served me well. Or you could combine you and John's names like my uncle did and name her Chron. Or Jisty. Jistichron Smelaney. I like it.

And I also am so glad you went down and talked to the clean up people... otherwise we'd always wonder....

Yeah, but how many cats are in there? I've been trying to count, but they keep moving.
Congrats.
