We're Having A.......

GIRL! It looks like Ellie gets to have a sister (something I never got!). We went to the ultrasound today and the little baby was hanging upside and moving her arms and didn't really want to show us in between her legs. Luckily, Dr. Beck is good at moving the baby around and we got a shot of the 3 little lines that indicate girl. I did ask this time though if he was positive that he didn't see any boy parts and he said that he couldn't see any and they should be pretty apparent at this stage! Everything else is on schedule and she is measuring exactly where she should be at 17 weeks and weighs about 6 ounces with a heartbeat in the 160's. Always a relief to know that everything has developed normally! And now to start planning and at least thinking of girl names....

congrats!! That is so exciting! It is fun to have girls close in age, and even nicer to be able to reuse the clothes!! One of the nurses at the hospital the day I had Claire made this comment after already hearing that we had another girl, "They'll be the best of friends, and the worst of enemies." But it will be great! Congrats again

I voted you were having a boy. I guess that's all I know. You can be the girl professional and I'll be the boy professional. :) So exciting. I can't wait to hear what name you pick out.

How exciting! I love having sisters - even though we fought plenty growing up, we're best of friends now! Of course, we have to support each other amongst all the brothers. I don't know how you did it!!
