The Envelope Please?

Today we had the big HALF WAY there ultrasound. My prayers for having a healthy baby have worked! I am pleased to tell you that this baby is measuring right on track: 3 vessel cord, no Down's, no cleft palate, a 4 chamber heart, perfect (smart) brain, no spina bifida (perfect spine), enormous feet and a girl! The last part shocked me! I expected to be the mother of two boys, so that was just the icing on an already good report of a healthy baby. We (like last time) had the ultrasound tech place the results of the ultrasound in an envelope so we would find out the gender in private - just us. We are so thrilled that Teague will be forever tormented by a sister, or maybe it will be the other way around?! Nonetheless, what a blessing this adventure has been thus far!

Yep, she's ours - big feet like the three of us!
Just look at that face - chubby cheeks already (Teague will love pinching those!)
Also like last time, you will have to wait to find out the name. I am sure we will come up with a "fake" ugly name, but until then it's our only surprise...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I would post my version of some "fake" names, but you just never know with that stuff. I'll let YOU go there, since it's your blog. :o)

What wonderful news. I can't wait to see you and/or speak to you--it's been TOO long.

Enjoy!
