It's A Girl

It's a girl! Definitely a girl. =) We haven't come up with a name for her yet... We're half way through (or more, depending on if she comes early like the other two). We had our 20 week ultrasound today and it went really well. Aside from the handful of photos they sent home with us we also had the whole ultrasound recorded (we have Noah and Rachel's 20 week ultrasounds on video, so I was glad they didn't have a problem recording it for us). It was funny - trying to find VHS tapes in a store yesterday... people look at you like you have three heads now when you ask for those... Posted above are a few of the pictures we got today.
The doctor said Baby Girl looks great - perfectly normal with everything where it should be and nothing where it shouldn't. She weighs 12 ounces right now and is about 10 inches long from crown to toes. It took a very long time (and I have a sore belly from the Ultrasound Tech trying to get her to change positions... ) to get the pictures of her heart that we needed because she didn't want to put her arms down. She had one arm up across her face or by her head while the other with her thumb in her mouth - hence, the arms were covering her chest... But it was just more time to look at her and see how she was doing.
We go back for another ultrasound in 8 more weeks and that will be the really cool one - 3d/4d at 28 weeks. She'll be starting to look chubby and cute by then. =)

Heather,
I am so excited for you! I wish that we lived closer together and could get the kids together. I was reading that Noah wants a "Batman" birthday...so does Charlie. Want to have a "joint" birthday party and save some money? LOL...just kidding. But seriously, I am so happy for you and think of you often!
Love,
Jeni
