Baby Grover is ....

a Girl!!!

Today we had our big ultrasound. Everything looked just right - all the organs are developing correctly , and we got to see our baby GIRL moving all around. She is one active child! The technician first told us Baby Grover was lying in the breech position. Before we knew it, she had moved so that her head was on the right side, and then all around to the left side. I think she was trying to give us the grand tour of her living quarters. The technician measured the nose, leg bones, and circumference of the head to determine the gestational age, which they decided was 21 weeks exactly. Tomorrow I'm supposed to be 21 weeks, so it's right on schedule. We could see her moving around, crossing and uncrossing her legs, opening and closing her mouth, it was so precious! Baby Grover weighs about 14 ounces, and Lane says she already has a Grover chin.

We are so excited!! And so are our families! Our niece, Claire called to be the first in her family to find out. When we told her and her sister Natalie they were going to have a girl cousin, Natalie exclaimed, "We never had one of *those* before!!". Too cute.
We can't wait to meet our baby girl.
