Baby Kitchen #5

Well last night Dave and I went for my 20 week ultrasound. It is always exciting for me to see the little one on the screen and just marvel at what a miracle it truly is. Now at the beginning of my pregnancy I had the idea that I would not find out what the sex of the baby was, after all I already had both, so wouldn't it be great to have a surprise? Well here's the thing I have a problem with surprises. I am just not patient enough and although some may not agree, I think it makes the last half of the pregnancy more bearable when you know what you are having.
With that being said, from the beginning I just had a feeling we were having a girl. I even had a little saying that went something like this " the hips and thighs don't lie" meaning when I was pregnant with Claire that is the first place I gained weight. This time it was the same, so I just figured. And of course since Claire needed a little sister, I just assumed that it would be a girl. As the day approached I was still adamant that this little one was a girl, but the thought came to me that it could be a boy. Well that would be okay too.
Well we were very excited when the ultrasound technician told us that we would be adding another girl to our family. Claire was very excited and even though the boys all wanted a brother, they were excited too.
Here is a photo of our little girl set to grace the scene on 11/11/09.
