BABY WOODS

WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!!

We had the ultrasound today. This baby was as active as my other children; bouncing around everywhere. The baby showed us her fingers (very long ones) several times. Other than that, she didn't want to cooperate. She kept hiding under my belly button. It took a while to get all the measurements and to get a good picture of the heart.
It took even longer to find out the gender. By this time, Tony had fallen asleep. We can always count on him to keep on top of things! I saw the screen, told Tony he better wake up so he can find out if he was having a girl or boy. I looked at the tech because I knew at that point that it was a girl. She winked at me and told him it was a girl.
It took a long time to sink in. You see until that point he (and most everyone else) was CERTAIN it was a boy. Turns out she is a shy girl. Is it possible for us to have a shy child? Maybe she's just practicing for when she becomes famous and has to hide from the paparazzi.
This little girl is so different from her sisters. Completely different pregnancy. Different position in my belly. Different demeanor. I can't wait to meet her!!!!!!
I get to see her again in 3 weeks. They want to get a better picture of her spine. They may move up the due date, seems she is a little bigger than my original date. Looks like another 6-footer!!
