A GIRL!

Yesterday we found out that we have a daughter on the way! The ultrasound tech let us know in the first few minutes of our appointment and we were both just shocked and very happy. Not that we didn't expect a girl, but I think we were both amazed that our baby had just went from an it to a she!
The ultrasound took a couple hours and we saw every part of her precious little body that they could possibly look at, and everything looks healthy! Wow. She was moving around "quite a bit more than normal," or so said the ultrasound lady. That could have had something to do with the sugar cookie Heather ate before going in!
So to celebrate the news of our daughter we went out to lunch together to talk about her. And we also went out to buy her her first outfit. Here's what we picked out!

I was not expecting some of the thoughts that would go through my head right after finding out we're having a daughter. One of my favorites was "Man, someday I will have to give her away!!" So we will have to call her "her" for a while because we agreed not to start talking about names until we knew if it was a boy or girl. Now it's "game on!"
Due to popular request from our family, we are firing up the "belly update" for you to check on the status of Heather's Belly. Have fun!
