Levi was really impressed with the ultrasound machine. It recorded in real time and then the operator would pause, rewind and play forward in slow motion to make sure that she captured the correct shot for making the measurements of the baby. Then it would just snap back to real time for her to do it again. She also flipped it into a 3D rendering mode to get images of the baby in the womb. She said that based on the measurements the baby was 19 weeks along, and I will be 19 weeks on Sunday so it looks like everything is coming along on schedule. The baby is healthy and normal, and they couldn't detect any problems from the ultrasound.
I don't think that I have felt the baby moving but it was sure squirming during the ultrasound. From the very beginning the baby was moving it's arms and legs all over, and was moving pretty quick. It even rolled over and the doctor had a hard time looking at the heart because the spine was then in the way.
And finally, its a GIRL! We are so excited and can't wait till she is finally here. To tell you the truth I really wanted it to be a boy. Not for any reason in particular, I think it is because I am the only girl in my family and loved having older brothers. Also I was the little girl that told my mom, "No more PINK!" I told everyone at work that I wanted a boy but I thought it was going to be a girl because I was getting the ultrasound on Friday the 13th, and I was right! But we are really looking forward to having a little girl. There is something about a little girl that is so sweet. Our Niece Alivia is the sweetest little girl. She will come up to you and sit on your lap and cuddle with you and tell you all about everything that was going on. When the newest Nephew was born Alivia was all about it. She always wanted to sit by Reed and touch him and play with him. It was so cute! Thats the part that I am excited for. Please don't expect all the bows and dresses though because I am not that creative!
Little baby toes!
Our little girl squirming and covering her face.
Yes, its a girl. Thats just the umbilical cord.

YAY!!! That is so exciting! I haven't had my little girl yet but I've had lots of moms, who had girls first, tell me that they love having their firstborn be a girl. They are their little helpers and so sweet. So exciting! The ultrasounds always make it seem so real. You will feel her kicking before you know it and then she won't stop, but it's always fun.
That is great news that you are having a girl! Congrats!
