It's a Girl!

Well, it was a long day, but we finally got the big question answered!


Baby Brant did not want to cooperate at her sonogram this morning at my regular OBGYN's office, but we did get this adorable pictures out of it. She's waving for the camera, and you can even make her little fingers out a little bit! Very cool. But unfortunately, you can also tell that her legs are all folded up tight. She was being very shy, and didn't want to give up the goods. We were able to tell that everything looked normal. Yay! Obviously the most important thing, anyway. They also decided to move my due date up a week to April 1. Which means only 18 more weeks to go! Woo hoo!

So, when I texted Meri to tell her what happened, she decided that the outcome of our first sonogram was just not going to do. She got right online and found a place in Plano where we could get another sonogram that afternoon. I decided VERY quickly that she was right, and that I would just go nuts if I couldn't find out. So, I got on the phone and made an appointment over lunch at the First Vu clinic.

They were truly wonderful, and after 45 minutes of trying to get the baby to roll over (no, I am not exaggerating), she finally did, and we got the money shot above. It doesn't look like much to me, but according to my sonographer, "I can't tell you for sure that it's a girl, but I can tell you that in a sonography text book, that picture would be next to "girl" as a perfect example. We couldn't be more thrilled, and are looking forward to welcoming Baby Girl Brant to the family in 2009!
