Baby Girl S.

It's a girl!  Darren & I went in for our 20 week anatomy exam on Friday.  It was so awesome to see her little fingers & toes.  The technician was great.  It's amazing how they can find & identify all of the baby's parts.  Her kidneys, which looked like a specular highlight, & all the chambers of her heart.  And most excitedly, her private parts!  I'll be honest, it didn't look like much to me.  She even had to draw me a line, a bit like connect the dots.  I said, "Oh yeah," but really I still couldn't see anything clearly.  So I took her word for it.  

Darren was sooo happy.  He high-fived me, just like the day he found out we were expecting.  He continued through out the exam to express how thrilled he was to be having a little girl on the way.  It makes me so happy to be married to a man who's so involved & thrilled about being a father.  On our way to Columbus Circle to make all of our phone calls he asked if we were going to say, "I got my girl!," just like my mom had when I was born.  It's awesome how he always finds a way to include Mom in our lives. 

Calling & texting everyone was a blast.  We received some really wonderful responses from our family & friends.  It is a moment in our life that will be treasured always.  Enjoy her beautiful profile pic!
