It's a Girl!!!

I had to wake up early to start drinking water. Waking up early of course made me nauseous and throw up the water, so I was hoping everything would still go smoothly. Anyway the nurse said one of the reasons for having a full bladder is to rule out placenta previa. We are so excited that we don't have to call our baby "it" anymore. We can at least say "she" or "her" which sound a little bit better.
(James' description) The ultrasound showed that everything was on track and going fine. There was no hesitation in calling the baby a girl by our ultrasonographer so we think we can cross all the boy names off the list now. Based on her development they said her due date might be closer to the 21st of May, but since this due date was not more then a 10 day difference from the original due date (May 27th) then it will remain unchanged on the paperwork. Below are descriptions of the pictures. If you want to get a better view of the pics you can click on them to enlarge.

1. This picture shows that she is a girl. There are 3 white lines where the arrow is pointing and those are the labia. This shot is taken as if you are standing under her while she is sitting in a chair. The structures next to the labia are the femur bones of each leg. There is a question mark after the word "girl" since the ultrasonographer never likes to say for sure one way or the other because people might get upset.

2. This shot shows the bottoms of her feet. This was my favorite shot. During the ultrasound you could see the toes wiggling. Just amazing!

3. This is a shot of the face and part of the body. The head is on the left side of the picture sort of pointing to the word "face." The the right and the left of the face are the hands and the thorax and abdomen are below.
