A Trio of Girls

I am so sorry that it has taken me 4 days to get this post up! I was having trouble getting the ultrasound photos to load and those are half the post!

We had our 20 week ultrasound for little peanut on Monday morning and found out we're having a girl! The ultrasound technician said there was no doubt in what she saw and there were definitely "girl parts" out and visible! We are so happy and excited! I absolutely adore my sister and the relationship I have with her and can't wait for Maddie and little peanut to experience that amazing sisterly bond. Maddie is going to be such an awesome big sister!

The ultrasound technician printed out a bunch of photos for us. She said the baby is growing right on track and is weighing 12 oz, the size of soda can. I have been able to feel peanut moving around for about 3-4 weeks (right around my 17th week) and it's so fun to feel those movements. While the ultrasound was being done, peanut kicked around and I was able to both see and feel the kicks - so weird but so neat too! We got to see peanut drinking too - her little tongue was moving back and forth a lot! I don't remember seeing Maddie's tongue moving, but it was really cool!

And here we go, on to the photo show!

A profile of our beautiful baby girl...

You can see peanut's arm reaching in front of her face her...

You can see her torso here...

And her early acrobatic skills! She is laying on her back with her legs lifted up over her (so her toes are near her face). Oh to be that flexible!

And a cute little foot...

We're now working on figuring out a name for our peanut and having fun looking into nursery design ideas. I still can't believe that we're already at the half way point for this little one! It has gone by so quickly!

Love you all!
Nile. David and Maddie
