Half-way there!

We had our 20 week ultrasound on Monday and found out we are having a girl! It was so fun to see her moving around and at the end cuddling up into a little ball and crossing her legs at the ankles. I'm so happy she is healthy and its amazing we were able to see all of her organs and fingers and toes developing properly. She is still measuring tiny so Dan was happy it was a girl - apparently tiny girls are better to him than tiny boys. And, for the record she was still within normal ranges, just on the small side which is ok with me since I have to carry her :)

We saw her moving her mouth a lot and swallowing. You can see her mouth is open in this picture.


She had her hands near her face a lot and one time was cuddling them under her chin

The ultrasound machine broke half-way through the appointment so we had to do it again and so the technician was rushed for time to get lots of fun pictures. But, we did get a lot of good profile ones.I think the hardest part of finding out the gender is that now we have to wait to actually hold her! It is fun knowing that it is a girl so we can start picking out names and getting to know her kicks, but it is sad to think we still have a ways to go before we meet her face to face :) This weekend Dan has a basketball tournament so I might be able to get in to order our baby furniture. It may take 4-6 weeks so that would be nice to get soon so we can put everything together and have the baby room ready later this summer.

It was fun hearing everyones gender predictions - most people thought it was a boy, but we are very sure it is a girl!
