It's a ....

We had the big appointment today.  I have to be honest up front and say that I was a little disappointed.  I think I was expecting clearer pictures and that we'd be able to see a whole lot now that the baby's bigger.  They weren't and we couldn't.  Now Eric says he could see what the doctor was pointing out, but I couldn't.  I felt like Rachel on Friends.  I actually cried when we got to the car because I couldn't tell what anything was.

Here's what we did see.  The baby has hands, feet, fingers, and toes.  We saw the head, heart with 4 chambers beating away, spinal cord, and legs.  At one point we followed the legs down and saw them moving and I felt movement.  I guess that really confirms it, I saw the baby kick while I felt it.  These movements are baby related.  It weighs 10 ounces right now.

Hmmm...what else?  Oh yeah, it's a girl!  Again, I couldn't see anything, but the doctor was pretty sure she was seeing girl parts.  We asked her how sure and she said 85%.  I'll take that.  I think I was hoping for a boy, but I wanted at least one of each anyway, so a girl is just fine.  I'm guessing she'll have her Dad wrapped around her little finger in no time.  Her name will be Grace Ellen Marie.  I love that name.  So now just 20 more weeks until little Grace can come out to play.
