It's a...... GIRL!

Can you believe it?!?!?! It's really a girl (the 3 lines mean a girl) :)


This is the baby laying on its stomach so they could see the spine.


These are some really cool 3D photos I got of her. They aren't as clear on here as they are in person, but we thought this was really nice to get. That's the placenta around her face and head on the left and her cord around her arm on the right. She looks kind of blobby right now :), but its still fun to see them more closely.


It doesn't look like it, but she does have all fingers and toes. In the 2D we were able to count them and see all of them. You can see them better in the above photo.



If you look closely you can see her heart - its the black space that has a line going through it. She has all 4 chambers and they cross where they need to. That's her fist down by her belly.You can see one of her eyes too.



This is a closer profile pic and you can see her nose and mouth better.



Everything turned out great and they were able to rule out almost all birth defects. That was comforting to know since we were concerned with my test results for Spinabifida and with my heart condition and how that was going to affect her. But, all in all, she looks healthy and we are excited, but very nervous. We know what to expect with boys. :) It's so weird to say "her"!!!
