Pink or blue?

Today we had our 20 week ultrasound. It was so great to see our little one. It makes all the sickness and everything so worth it. She looks great. As far as we can tell anyway. Did you catch the she? Yes, it's a girl! I guess I was a little shocked. Somehow I was expecting a boy, but am thrilled with another little girl. Boys are great but there's something fun about pink and bows and all that stuff. Plus I need girls to take care of me some day in my old age right? It really is such a miracle to see a real live child moving around in my tummy. The ultrasound tech said she was one of the most active little girls she had ever witnessed. Should we be nervous? I guess we'll just put her dance or soccer to get her energy out.

When I told Anna she was very excited and said that we should name her "Katie", which is funny since if it was a boy she wanted to name him "Nathan". Call me crazy but that seems just a tad close to Kate, and Ethan. I was a little more nervous to tell Ethan the news. When he came home from school I told him and asked him how he felt about that. He just said "I guess I'll just be the big brother." How sweet is that? I am really glad that he wasn't sad or disappointed it wasn't a brother.

Here are some pictures of our little one.
This is one of my favorite looking at her back and seeing her little ear. It just seems so incredible to me that she is all developed and you can see even her ear!

She liked to keep her arms up by her head and kept covering her ears or face.

Her arm streched back.

The best profile picture she would give us. She wasn't very willing to cooperate.


This is a view looking straight on at her face with her hand in front pointing up.

She had her arms over her ears like she was mad we woke her up and trying to go back to sleep. Isn't she cute?

A view looking down above her head with her cute little fingers.

Her legs all stretched out.



I told Rand that seeing her I already love and am endeared to her so much more. Half way there!
