First Ultrasound

June 8th was so awesome! I loved the look on Corby's face as he watched the screen while the technician Ann was looking to check that everything with the baby physically was okay. Everything is fine(breathe a sigh of relief), the spinal cord is connected to the skull- there was a risk of spinabifida, it's insides are growing on the inside of it's body, yay! The skull flap is closed and the legs and arms are developed. The heart and kidneys are functioning well.

In fact we couldn't get a profile picture because the baby's legs are crossed

The most exciting part was when Ann said, "I might be able to tell the sex of the baby today, do you want to know?" Corby and I readily agreed and thanks to her sitting with her legs crossed we could see very easily that our baby most likely is a girl! Ann told us not to get too excited and go out and buy pink paint for the nursery, but I told her that we are going with a jungle theme, so it wouldn't really matter.

Finally mom can use that "Baby girl bag" that she has in the bottom of her closet.

When Erin first found out that they were expecting, mom had a dream about a little girl in a dance leotard with blond hair, but wasn't able to see her face. She assumed it was Erin's baby, but then Erin found out that she was having a boy. After our appointment the other day my mom came over to see the pictures and I asked her, "Do you think the little girl in the leotard could have been my little girl?" Her face lit up and she replied, "It makes sense because you came to me before you were born."

We'll wait for the conformation in four weeks.
