The Ultrasound Says...

It's a GIRL!

Wow!

Lauren took the news well.  At first she wouldn't say much (except "Daddy when are we going to eat lunch?"), but then she got excited when we started talking about names.   Now she is constantly asking me if we can put the baby sister's dresses in a drawer with her clothes so she can help get the baby dressed when she comes.  She also found a pink rattle that she's been carrying around everywhere so that she can shake it and make the baby stop crying. ("Mom, do you think it will work while the baby's still in your tummy?")

Ella was really excited to see the baby on the ultrasound.  If you ask her what we're going to have, she'll tell you it's a baby.  That's progress.

Russ says he's one step closer to having a championship women's basketball team.  

What fun to have so many girls!  I can't wait to see what this little personality is like.  She was very cooperative during the ultrasound, but also very wiggly.  Sounds like a good mix of Lauren and Ella.

We can't wait until we get to hold her!
