We're having a GIRL!

We had our big Ultrasound today at St. Joseph's Women's Hospital and it was officially the coolest thing I have ever done! I have been so nervous the past couple of days waiting for this and last night it was difficult for me to sleep. I kept having odd dreams about the Ultrasound and woke up every couple of hours but that is normal, I get anxious about everything.

Well, I was asked to drink plenty of water before they did the Ultrasound so I drank an entire bottle of water while waiting and then it took quite a while for them to call me back. Mission accomplished, my bladder was FULL! The sonographer was so nice and the first thing she asked was if we wanted to know the gender to which we replied "YES!" Of course she made no promises but said she'd try to let us know the gender.

I was so nervous when she started the sonogram, I mainly wanted to see the baby moving and "it's" heartbeat. We were in luck, not only was she moving around like a little monkey but she was also sticking her little butt out clearly showing her "girly parts." Walter noticed right away that she was a girl and the tech confirmed, how exciting!!!!

The ultrasound continued for about half an hour showing us every single inch of our baby girl, she has all her fingers, all her toes, all her organs and looks to be a perfectly healthy baby girl. It was the most amazing thing to see her move and flip and scratch her eyes. I can't feel her move yet so it was very nice to see her moving around like crazy in there. I am sure I will feel her lots soon but for now, I'm happy to know she's having a little party in there.

By the time she was almost done with the sonogram, it had become painful. My bladder was sooo full! I was ready to be done and spread the good news about our baby girl. We were told to wait a few minutes so the doctor could check the baby's anatomy and make sure everything was ok. A few minutes later we were cleared to go and told everything looked good.

Hope you enjoy some photos of our adorable little baby girl:

Fun Photo Shoot

I had a fun time shooting these for boys. These are definitely what I consider personality shots, forget getting them to sit still, they just wanted to have fun. Here are a few of my favorites:
