It's a GIRL!!!

Well, on Friday, January 16th, we had the ultrasound to find out what the sex of our baby is and as you can see from above, it's a GIRL! The ultrasound pictures from above are, from top to bottom, her legs... crossed at the ankles, her arm... elbow out, hand in toward her head, and lastly, her face. I know they are a little hard to see, some people had a hard enough time seeing them when they had Gregg and I pointing everything out, but don't worry, they're all there! For about 15 minutes while the ultrasound tech was trying to measure everything and tell us what sex she was, the little booger wouldn't uncross her legs! Gregg and I were pretty frustrated! We were both looking forward to finding out so much! The tech left the room and the Dr. was going to come in to check a few more things and hopefully, by that time, her legs would be uncrossed. And lucky for us, they were!

The above pictures are the same picture twice. I think she just had to put more than one picture on the sheet she gave us. It's hard to see and I know if you click on the picture in the blog, they get a little bigger. But basically, it would be like you're looking up from under her sitting on a glass table. Her bum is to the left and her legs shoot out to the right. And her little girl part is there in the middle! Just to be sure, Gregg asked, what would it look like if it were a boy and the Dr. told us that she would've had a bump that went out between her legs and it would've been quite obvious. So, although we know that there can be errors and our little baby girl could pop out a boy, the picture is pretty clear which part she has! :-)

We are very excited and all Gregg keeps saying is what a big "softy" he's going to be. If anyone can wrap this guy around their little finger, it's going to be a daughter! I have no doubt in my mind she's going to be a daddy's girl!

We had a long weekend in Star Valley again and got to tell Gregg's family in person. They had to wait one extra day because they knew how much I wanted to be able to tell family something fun in person, so it was hard to keep it a secret all of Friday, but it was fun to tell them in person! Although, it was Gregg that got to tell him and I managed to take the wind out of his sails with a slip up! I felt awful, but it was still so much fun to tell them!

We got another piece of good news on Friday as well! We are going to be able to move into a 3 bedroom in the Student Apartments at the end of February. It's within the same village we're living, so we're not going far, but it's going to be a bit more space and the baby will get her own room. We even found out we can paint her room as long as we paint it back! Unfortunately, Gregg is going to have to do most of the moving/painting etc as I'm pregnant! I think it's more unfortunate for him than me! ;-) So, we had a WONDERFUL Friday with LOTS of good news!

Today was also the inauguration of Barack Obama and I just have to add what a wonderful opportunity this is for this country. We will be patient and hopeful and pray that Barack Obama is able to bring about wonderful changes for America.
