Sugar and spice and everything nice....

that is what little girls are made of.

You guessed it, we are having a baby GIRL.

We found out this fun news last night and have enjoyed sharing it with our family and friends. It was exciting to see our little girl jumping around on the ultrasound. She has been very active, which Brad says is because she is my daughter. The doctor spent a long time measuring and checking everything. We are thankful that our little girl is developing and growing at a normal rate. We enjoyed watching the heart beat see the ventricles and atria. She gave us a little thumbs up which was fun to see.

Her little leg and foot.

"Hello world!"

Our favorite 3D picture of our baby's profile. Doesn't she have the cutest little nose and lips? Parts of her face look strange in this picture because on one side she has the umbilical cord (right) and placenta (left) on either side of her.

We are both enjoying this part of the pregnancy. The first few months went by really slowly (probably because I was so sick) but now it is hard to believe that it is half way over. It is crazy that we can already love a person that we have never met, but we do love her a lot. My belly is getting bigger and am feeling very energetic, despite sleeping being quite interrupted. I guess that is part of becoming a mom. Brad has been able to feel the baby move, which he thinks is cool and weird. I have been constantly hungry and so it is fitting for us to post a picture of us eating dinner on the roof.
