It's a Girl!

We had another ultrasound today and the baby decided to reveal its big secret. It's a girl!

Brian's Christmas list has changed somewhat in the last few hours.... It now includes a gun and lessons on how to threaten his daughter's gentleman callers by cleaning it at the kitchen table. His comment was "There's a little boy gestating somewhere right now that has no idea what he's in for." I'm not sure if he was talking about our daughter or him as a father-in-law. He doesn't need the gun for a while since he said she won't be dating until 30. Oh, he's a dreamer.

We're both really happy about the news and excited to use a gender specific pronoun when referring to the baby. I think this year may turn out to be a pink Christmas around our house. :)

As far as a baby update, she's (hehe - see it's fun to use pronouns) kicking a lot. I hope she enjoys it while there's still ample room in there. Apparently, she's gotten most of her length now - about 14 inches - and from now on will spend most of her time gaining that cute baby fat. She is only 2 pounds now so we have a long way to go in just 15 weeks. As I told some of you at Thanksgiving, her new game is to wait until I've been sitting for a while and then throw all of her weight to my front left side when I get up. It honestly feels like she's going to fall out even though I know it's a physical impossibility. She's got a personality already - I love that!

Yay, congrats! We find out Dec. 15 (if the baby is cooperating) if we're having a boy or a girl, but we're not telling anyone else. ;-) It's driving our families crazy.
