Daddy's Girl

So, we went for our ultrasound yesterday. It was so exciting. They told us we are having... a girl! While she's still cooking in the oven, we call her Poppy.

I still haven't been able to feel her moving but it was so fun to watch her on the screen. Bobby and I watched the baby flip around. She pulled her leg back and kicked my full bladder square on. I think she wanted more room. Every time the technician tried to look at her face, she'd put her hands in front like she was playing peek-a-boo. Then she crossed her arms over her chest in a big X. We could see all her bony long toes. And we saw the underneath of her nose. I swear it's Bobby's nose, just based on that. She started eating/drinking. That was so cute! Bobby thinks she has my lips. The tech said her head is perfectly oval. Then she bent into a V and had her feet up next to her head. That was so funny! She was tired of getting messed with. We loved seeing all of her little ribs and backbone. Her heartbeat was 143 and she's 10 ounces. We are perfectly on time for my due date. Bobby and I loved watching her and could have done it all day.

I get to have another ultrasound in 2 weeks. It will be a 3D one this time. Because she was bent in a V and moving her arms in the way, the tech couldn't get a clean picture of her heart. We could tell there were 4 chambers, but it wouldn't take a good enough photo. I get to watch her again! The doctor said everything looks good and healthy.

I was actually surprised of Bobby's ability to distinguish everything on the screen. He's never really seen one like it before and he was really good at it. Actually, he knew she was a girl before the tech told us. I just know she's going to be such a Daddy's Girl.
