We Are Having A ......

.....little baby GIRL!!! We could not be more excited:) The ultra sound went great today! It was the first time that we got to see our sweet little baby moving around.....and she was definitely moving today! Although she was extremely shy of the camera (either that or frustrated with all the poking and prodding!!) because it took the doctor quite a while to get her to turn around so that we could get a front view of her and have a look at her in 3D.
It was such an amazing experience. I was in awe the whole time that this little moving baby was living, breathing and growing inside of my tummy! Going to the ultra sound today DEFINITELY made it even more real, and unreal at the same time - the fact that we are actually going to have a little baby coming into our family in just a few short months! It is also hard to believe that we are already 22 weeks along! "Time Flies on Wings of Lightening" sometimes. We are doing the best we can to cherish the little moments together. After our ultra sound at 9am, I had my regular check up at 10:30 (which we were a little late for). All seems to be going well there too! We got to hear her heartbeat again and it sounds just as strong as ever!
After our appointments were over (since Micah and I both had the day off from work) we were off to buy our first baby outfit and of course we were in search of PINK!! So we went to 3 stores and finally found the perfect pink pants suit!! It is going to look absolutely darling on her!
The rest of the day we were able to relax and have dinner with Mommers and Dooders (and Jessie L. came over too, so that she could celebrate our good news). We kept the gender of our girl a secret until dinner time, which wasn't easy. Then we brought in a cute little bag with the pink outfit wrapped up inside. Mommers and Dooders opened it together and saw that it was pink! It was so much fun!
So, we know that ultrasound photos aren't the best of quality, and they won't mean as much to you as they do to us, but here are some of the best ones that we got.



Our baby has big feet, just like Micah!
Here is a 3-D ultrasound image of the baby's face and left hand. Some of her face is obscured, and the umbilical cord is going right over her lips, but she is still cute to us.
