The verdict is in....

So, as many of you know our ultrasound was on Friday. John had the day off and was adamant that we wouldn't be finding out. I was ready to have the tech write down the gender and seal it in an envelope for us to take home and argue over some more and then hopefully open and find out! Even the midwife was advocating for me to find out! Her guess was a girl. John kept saying firmly that we wouldn't find out.

So we got to the ultrasound and after they got me all situated with towels so that the gel wouldn't get on my clothes, she looked at me and asked if we were finding out. I turned to John and said, "John ARE we finding out today what this little one is?" He looked at me, gave me a goofy grin and said, "yup!!" My mom was there and she had Aidan on her lap. She and I squealed when John said that we could find out!! Makenna who was on John's lap, laughed, and Aidan I think was confused.

So I was anxious to get started obviously!! The tech asked Aidan what was in my belly. He said a sister. He consistently says sister whenever we ask. Literally 99.9% of the time he says girl. It's really cute. Makenna and her sister both say sister too even most everyone I talk to says girl. So we videotaped the entire appointment. About an hour long. It was great!! So here are pictures of our sweet babe!!

Sucking the thumb!

So, finally we got to the good part....the ultrasound tech was focused on a certain area a bit more than she had been on other areas. I was about to ask if the area we were looking at were the certain parts that we wanted to look at. The tech beat me to it and said, that she had been looking for a bit and that she was fairly confident. She then said, "I think Aidan was right, I think he is going to have a sister!" We all were so overjoyed!! We can't wait!! I can't wait to buy all that pink!! I already bought 3 outfits and 1 blanket this weekend at Macy's in Oregon!!! So, yes, we are still in disbelief but we are having a

GIRL!!!!!!!!

I have to have another ultrasound in a month of her because there could be complications due to the diabetes such as heart defects. But, they said her heart looked fine and that they are just doing it as a precaution screening. I don't mind, I get to see my baby girl and I get to make sure there is nothing wrong with her!! WE are so excited. The neonatologist even confirmed that to her it looked as if we were having a girl!!!! Hooray!!! Just thought you would all like to know!
