Ultrasound

Today we had our 20 week anatomical sonogram. Last night I hardly slept I was so anxious, I wanted to find out the baby was healthy and also what the sex was. Of course Aaron slept like a baby. How is he always able to sleep right before (or during) life changing moments? Aaron and I both thought we were having a boy, although we have no valid reasoning. I think its because we were more drawn to baby boy clothes than those horrible pink fluffy girl clothes.

When the ultrasound started we immediately saw our little monster on a large TV screen in front of us, Ive never seen an ultrasound in real life and it was pretty cool. The technician took a bunch of measurements and showed us the head, spine, arms, hands, legs, feet, etc. And everything measured healthy and normal. YAY! Then she asked if we wanted to know the sex...umm, YES!! Our monster was swimming around so much it took a while to finally get a decent shot of it the genitals. Also, every time we got close to seeing the goods the baby would put its hands between its legs, like it was saying "Hey! Whatcha looking at? Go away!" But we finally got a good angle and BAM its a girl! Our little girl:

Yup, she is sucking her thumb! 

Here is the 3D version, you can see her little eyes, nose, and mouth.

Another 3D angle.

We are so thrilled to be having a girl! We originally wanted a boy but now that we have a girl we couldn't give you one good reason why we wanted a boy.
