IT'S A GIRL!!!

It's shameful that I haven't written in a month - but I've been gone too much enjoying summer at last. But....onto more important news! We had the ultrasound on Thursday and saw our baby girl. She is quite frisky, moving constantly and playing pick-a-boo with her hands the hold time. It was awsume to see her alive inside me moving around, wiggling her fingers and crossing her legs. All is healthy and organs, brain, bones look formed - don't we mothers hold our breath as they go through the list of searching for each vital organ to see if "oh yes, there are four chambers of the heart..." it is nerve wracking to lay there and wait to see if you have a perfectly formed child or not. I truly feel so blessed by God to have a third healthy pregnancy! We are thrilled to meet this baby girl. Eli is such a proud big brother. He so wanted a little sister (Ian has been cheering for a boy and insisted on arguing with us that afternoon that no, indeed it was a boy not a girl). But Ian is coming around as he see's his big brother proudly tell everyone about their little sister's body parts they saw inside my tummy. (We took everyone to the ultrasound apt. but Ian fell asleep through it - what a great story to tell baby girl when she is old enough).
