It’s a Girl! A Baby Girl - WoW! 6 replies

I had my gender ultrasound today - I figured for sure I was having a boy - as they tend to run in the family - two boys and a girl in my family, my brother has three boys and a girl - so I just figured for sure the baby is going to be a boy.

I get my checkup first - and then begin the ultrasound process to find out what I’m having.  The first anatomy shots are always interesting.  The baby’s development always looks so strange - yet so cool in some photos.  The photo below - yep - you wonder what I’m having?  A seahorse, if you ask me?  Check out that spine!

Then you get lucky, and you get a wonderful shot like this one - look at that foot!!

Then we got to see a great baby face - where you can see an eye - just turning towards us.

 But we could not see whether baby was a girl or a boy.  The tech tried to get the baby to move in such a way that we could see between its legs - well I’m proud to say that my little munchkin was quite proud, stubborn and didn’t want to show us that.  But eventually - SHE showed us her little rump!

Baby Girl - For Sure!

It’s a Girl!  I walked out of the ultrasound room in to the waiting area - and announced to all the strangers in the room that I was having a girl!!!  Such excitement.

Then I walked outside, beaming, and promptly began to cry - no really cry - such emotion, such excitement, such joy, peace - I’m having a girl.  I’m going to have a daughter - a daughter - yummy.  Thank you God.  Thank you so much.

I’d like to name her Melina, after my middle name - I’ve always loved that name.  Well, as a kid, I didn’t because it was too unique.  I’m not sure if I’ll change my mind a million times between now and November 30th, or first week of December when baby is due.  But, us girls are happy, doing well, healthy - and smiling deeply right now.

    She’s adorable. Little girls are such a joy. I really enjoy my daughter. And despite what some say about teen years for girls, I think that’s nonsense. I know so many Mom’s who enojoy thier teen daughters. I certainly enjoy my daughter more and more with each passing year.
