Ultrasound!

On Friday afternoon we had our first ultrasound with Baby #2.

Steve took off a little early from work and Aubrey came along, too.

We got in right away and didn't have to wait at all,

which was great since we had an excited Aubrey along for the ride.

They got started and Aubrey was interested

for about 2 minutes but quickly lost interest, as expected.

We packed a bag with treats and books

which kept her fairly entertained.

She wanted to be close by Mommy 

and didn't understand why Mommy was in the bed

and she was filled with "what's that?" questions.

The technician didn't mind an inquisitive girl which was nice.

Aubrey could recognize the head and hands and feet

and even got to hear the heartbeat!

And at one point she asked, "Where's the knees?"

Silly girl to think what was going through her mind.

Everything looked great with the baby

but he/she did not want to reveal his/her gender.

So Aubrey and I went for a little walk to try

to re-position the baby.

Aubrey talked to him/her and said, "Don't be shy!"

So, we tried to see again and we found out that baby is a 

GIRL!

I had to tell Aubrey, that, 

"Did you hear that, Mommy's baby is a GIRL!"

Immediately she squealed/screamed very loudly 

and said, "YAY, A GIRL!"

And proceeded to run and jump around squealing!

The ultrasound tech said that was the best

reaction she had all day!

I was secretly hoping for a girl, so Mommy is thrilled

and Daddy has realized he will be totally outnumbered 

and will spend many more days playing dress-up princess :)

They gave us a USB of about 15 pictures from the ultrasound

so we can print, email, and share.

(Something new from when we had Aubrey)

So, enjoy the few pics of our precious baby GIRL!

Now to think of a name....hmmmph.
