It's a..................................................................

We had our ultrasound this last Thursday. I was nervous about going because I wanted to make sure everything was okay with our baby and I was worried that it would be shy and not reveal its gender. Well.....everything is perfect, but...our baby was very shy...or as the ultrasound tech would say, stubborn. After 45 minutes and some poking and prodding, the ultrasound tech said she was only 60% sure. She had me go to the bathroom and then do some moving around(aka jumping jacks, stretching) anything that would maybe persuade our child to uncross its cute little legs(which was so cute in the ultrasound pics, but makes it extremely hard to tell the gender.) When I came back, they were still crossed, but now at the ankle instead of so tightly. We finally found out that we are having a GIRL! We are both excited and very glad that everything was perfect. The ultrasound was so cool, you can actually see the shape of the face and everything. Here's a picture for you all to enjoy! I forgot to say how we told our families. It was Patrick's idea and I think it was really cute. We got some pink balloons filled with helium, and put them in a huge box. Then we had some other pink stuff in the box as well-pink frosted cookies(yummy). That way, when our families opened the box, pink balloons flew out everywhere. It was really fun, and both families are extremely excited:)
