Baby 2 is a...

(cross-posted on our baby blog)


Baby girl!! I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that we are going to have a daughter. We are SO excited. We would have been thrilled with a boy, too, because Jay would have such a blast with a little brother, but we are very happy with a little girl!

I did the same thing with this baby that I did with Jay. Starting at around 11 weeks I was convinced of one gender (the correct gender) and then a day or 2 before the ultrasound I decided I wasn't sure. And the day of, I switched my mind to the other gender. Both times I should have stuck with my original instincts!

We got 4 printed pictures from the ultrasound. She was wiggly, just as I expected, so we didn't get a great profile shot, but it was better than nothing. When we saw between the legs, I immediately thought, "if that is the legs we are looking at, and I'm pretty sure it is, that is definitely a girl!" Then my doctor said, "well, looks like a girl!" He pointed out the 3 "lines" that mean girl instead of boy, then went on to look at the rest of the important things - bladder, heart, kidneys, etc. etc. Everything looks perfect. She is measuring 2 days ahead.

Another face shot

Baby girl!

And my favorite, the profile (with bonus leg and hand!)

The gender poll results:

And Jay's reaction? 


He couldn't care less. :)

We got to record the ultrasound on DVD, so I have that uploading to youtube right now, but it's taking forever. Hopefully it works. If it does, I will post it in another post.

Yay for baby girl!

Oh yeah! And a belly shot from today. Still look fat instead of pregnant.

In the last picture she looks like she's blowing bubbles! And Jay's reaction.....priceless............he looks so grownup with his buzz cut.....sad..........

And you have a preggers belly - it doesn't look pudgy fat - you are too round at the top for it to be fatty fat!
