It's a Girl!

She's Smiling!

 

We found out today that it's a girl! I knew it was, I just knew it! Mother intuition?? They didn't forget to record the ultrasound session this time either thank God! I would have cried lol. I did everything in my power to make sure it got recorded.

They started off like a tease. Are you to wanting to find out the sex of your baby today? Yes, of course we replied. She started off by looking at the brain and taking some measurements. Then she moved down to the stomach (full stomach :D) and measured the diaphragm. Then she measured the baby's arms.   

She then proceeded to take a look at the heart and the blood flow, then the umbilical cord and the blood flow in that. She finally got to the bladder ( full bladder too :P) and then watched the blood flow from the heart to the kidneys. Last but not least, she measured the legs.

After all of that time the anticipation had built up to maximum and our feet were literally bouncing in anticipation. She finally blurted out, Looks like you guys are having a girl! Although I had a strong feeling that she was a girl, a feeling of relief came over me and my heart was skipping beats, I was so excited.

We had her name already picked out for her. Evelyn Mae, we just both fell in love with the name but only recently found out it was my husband's great great grandmothers name so I guess she is named after someone after all haha! It was my grandmother's great aunt's name too, so it's an OLD name lol!

We announced the news immediately upon leaving the office. We called my dad first and he shared the news with everyone on his side of the family. I called my mom next, who also shared the news with everyone in her family. Both of them were so excited about the news of a baby girl. Hubby called his mom too but had to leave a message when she called back she was very excited about the news too!  

We had a big family dinner that night. It was awesome to be in everyone's company. We showed them all the video of the ultrasound after dinner. They were all in awe of how awesome the ultrasound technology is these days. They really liked the 4d part, especially when she broke into a smile, it was so precious. I can't wait to meet my little Evelyn Mae!
