It's a Girl!!!!!!!!!

Today was an exciting day for us...we found out we are having a little girl! We had an ultrasound that lasted an hour and a half and we had an absolute blast. She was moving like crazy and it was just so interesting to see everything. She is growing at just the rate she should be and everything looked great! The ultrasound tech was very happy with how she was cooperating...that is until she tried to get some pictures of her hands to make sure there were 5 fingers on each hand, instead of opening her hand nicely to show us she decided to give us a thumbs up :) It was just crazy all of the things they can see on an ultrasound from the structures in the brain to the muscles in the legs, talk about fasinating. I also think we are going to have a future thumb sucker on our hands. Throughout the ultrasound she just loved to have either her thumb or fingers in her mouth. We also were able to see her grabbing onto her feet and at one point she curled up and put her foot over her head. She even smiled at us :) Overall it was a wonderful day and just a relief to know that everything is developing well.

Otherwise things have been pretty quiet around here. I am on spring break this week and am really enjoying some time off to do some spring cleaning and relax a little bit. Bryan has been busy finishing up his grad school class and preparing for some presentations that he has to do next week for work.

Here are some updated pictures of my growing tummy...notice the nursery is "under construction" we picked up some paint samples and tried them out to see if we like any.
