The Long Awaited Posting...Is Baby Beanut a Boy or Girl???

Well before I give away the answer. I have to tell you that Dan and I have always just wanted to have a healthy baby since I knew that I would always be a high risk pregnancy. So a healthy baby was the number one important thing to us. However, I will admit, I have always wanted a girl to break the "boy cycle" in my family...secretly I know Dan wanted a girl too. So when we went to the doctor today, to get the ultrasound, we went in with an openmind...After the ultrasound started, and she went over all the anatomy to make sure it was developing properly....just to see Beanut's little fingers and toes, we were both reminded of how blessed and lucky we are! It was just amazing to say, "there is the fingers, there is the hands, there is the toes!" I have to admit, I for sure thought I heard her say ovaries...I was thinking...wow! Then I heard her say diaphram...don't ask what I was thinking, but I believe I said, "Do boys have one of those to?" Then she asked us if we wanted to know the gender...of course we said yes, she told us and said it was 80% accurate...then we got to see some 4D ultrasound pictures. They were really neat-we got to see the baby's face and it looked so real! Afer the Ultrasound technician left, the doctor came in and said, "I heard you aren't too happy you are having a (blank)" we said, "No we are excited, just a little shocked! So then the doctor confirmed 98% accurate it is a GIRL!!! Yes we are having a Baby Girl Beanut!! So if you voted for a girl...you were correct! I have to say, my dad's reactions was the best, of course I had to trick him first in the conversation, however, he was the most excited next to our moms! I guess he was on one line with Comcast and after I told him what we were having, he said, did you here that to the Comcast person...I am going to have a granddaugter. This will also be the first granddaughter on Dan's side as well!

Ok, so not to put a damper on the girl news but let me remind you Camden was supposed to be a girl until we had an Ultrasound at 22 weeks and he grew a little extra part, if you know what I mean. We were going to paint the nursery pink that weekend, good thing we didn't. My advise, wait one more Ultrasound and THEN paint the nursery. I do hope it IS a girl, I need someone to buy cute dresses for and Dan just doesn't look that great in pink.

Congratulations to you both!! I am glad that I have someone to pass on some of Kyla's cute stuff!! You will have a blast with a baby girl! (Although I must admit, I thought you were going to have a boy...I think Kim predicted a girl)..Oh! When your girl gets bigger, she and Kyla can have "tea parties!"
Love, Joanna
