Gender sono!

Well, this is super late, but April 18 we had a little bonus sonogram at my 16 week appointment to determine the gender of Baby #2!  I made sure to down a bunch of orange juice and ate a breakfast burrito on the way.

We sat and waited, and waited, and waited some more.  They were SO slow that day and all we wanted them to do was hurry and get to us!  We were both so exitedly anxious!  We talked softly to each other imagining if it was a boy or girl and what we would name him or her.  We joked about what would happen (since we paid specifically for this extra ultrasound) if the baby wasn't positioned for us to see!

So, finally they called us.  We got to the room and the tech seriously tried for about 20 minutes!!  Our little one had the legs crossed and wasn't budging!  She let me get up and walk around and use the bathroom. In the bathroom I had a little pep-talk with the baby and asked him or her to just work with us for a split second. hehe.

I got back to the room and she tried again. And again. Finally, after a few more minutes, she said the baby relaxed its legs enough that we could see it's a girl!!  A GIRL!

We were both super thrilled!!  Surprised in a totally great way!  I think we both thought it was a boy again, but we couldn't have been more excited and happy to hear we were adding a little girl to our family!!  We cannot wait to meet her!!

Here are a few sweet pictures!
