It's a Girl!

This morning we got up early and stopped for dough-ees on the way through Longmont to the hospital. We wanted the new baby to be all bouncy for the big picture show so that it wouldn't hide any of its bits and pieces.


You wouldn't know it from the pictures (except you, Aunt Sarah), but they tell us it's definitely a girl. Believe it or not, the picture above is one of the few that are even marginally recognizable. I'll look through the DVD again to see if I can pick out some others, but it might have to wait for a later photo shoot. For all I know, the sonogram tech could have been showing us pictures of Jello salad.

But all the signs are normal and healthy. She's bolted on in the right place, she's got a strong heartbeat, she's very flexible, and a little bit shy like her brother was.

Oh boy. I love pink. I have been just waiting to buy all kinds of pink yarn. Now I have a little project to knit for! Pink baby blankets, pink booties, pink sweaters, pink hats, pink sox, pink, pink, pink -- I'm in girly heaven!!!!!

Wait a minute...does this mean you will have to change the name of the blog? Or start a new one?

Congratulations to the whole family -- the three of you, of course, but Grandmas, grandpas, and all of the aunties and uncleies too.

So funny that Alex likes Donuts just like his daddy does!
