Hello World! Here I am!
















Right profile view where she is wiggling her fingers at us. You can see her finger tips and her kidneys.
















This is a left profile view where you can see her eye, spine, heart and left shoulder



















This is the shot where she reveals her girl hood to us. It is hard to make out on this electronic copy but you can see the bottoms of her feet on the left and where the arrow is pointing is her bum, bottom of her spine, and girl hood.


















Here is another left side profile. She had her hand in the air flexing her right pointer finger like she was waving at us. It was adorable. She kept doing it.

















Another side profile where you can see her cute nose, heart, and the little blurry thing floating is her hand with a flexing finger.

















This is a very clear hand/arm picture.


















Here is another picture of her showing us that she is a girl

















A very clear side profile where you can see her heart and spine.

I was able to finally get the ultra sounds scanned from our appointment January 19th. It was the most miraculous thing I have ever experienced in my whole life! My friend told me that when she had her ultra sound done she wanted to lay there and watch for hours. I can definitely see what she meant by that!

About 5 minutes into our appointment we knew it was a girl! She showed us plain as day "Hi mom and dad! Look I am a little girl!" I had a feeling throughout my whole pregnancy it was a girl and was 90% sure. Shawn was 80% sure it was a boy but he was so excited and thrilled he didn't even care. We are both so happy and really excited to meet her.

The ultrasound technician was awesome! She worked with us for over a half hour and gave us 8 great pictures to take home to show off. It took the tech about twenty minutes to get the baby to roll over to get a side profile picture but when she did it was amazing!!! she was laying facing my back so we kept getting bum shots until we poked and prodded her to get her to turn to face us. In the side profile picture it shows her cute little nose and it reminded Shawn of a Who from Horton Hears a Who so we have been calling her "Cindy Loo Who" until we find a good name for her. I am so in love with her it is amazing! According to the ultrasound tech my due date is June 20th but they left my date the same because it is only three days off. All of the things that they check for came out good. It was so much fun but so nerve racking waiting to hear if she is ok but you become mezmarized when you watch her. I wish they had a video of it for us but they don't.

We are so blessed and I am so thankful for her. It is amazing how much you can love something that you have never physically held in your arms so much. When ever I look at the ultra sounds I always tear up and get so excited!

Our appointment with the Dr. went well. He said that her heart beat was 165 bpm and everything looks good. I am so glad!

The next feat was to tell everyone but where to start? We decided to tell my parents by giving them a little burp cloth and bib that says "It's a girl". While we were at the store right after the appointment we found out that my dad was on his way to the emergency room (that is a whole other story). My parents were so excited to find out and they were so upset that we wouldn't just tell them over the phone. We decided to get some dinner and wait for my dad to get checked in and evaluated and then we would take them their present (which was wrapped in a blue bag-Shawn's way of throwing them off). They were both so happy to find out and definitely thrown off by the blue bag. I wish we didn't have to tell them in the middle of the emergency room, but I don't think they could stand it very much longer

After we left the hospital we went to tell big sister Kaylee. We stopped at her mom's apartment and showed her the ultra sound pictures. She thought the whole time it was a girl but says she wanted a brother but is happy either way. I think she is excited to have a little sister that will look up to her.

Shawn's parents have been out of town on a cruise since January 16th so they still have no idea what we are having. They are going to be home this weekend so it will be fun to go tell them and show them the ultra sound pictures and give them their little present.
