It's a ....

I went in for my ultrasound today. I was totally nervous just praying for a healthy baby. The kids were mostly voting for a baby boy but Aria was convinced it was a girl. On the way there "All American Girl" by Carrie Underwood was playing on the radio and I was wondering if that was a sign.

Well it turns out our little peanut is going to be a girl! The technician got a very good look and was very sure she is a girl. I was just hoping for everything to look alright. Ten fingers, ten toes.. check. Two arms, two legs... check. Heart is beating, all four chambers can be seen... check. Two kidneys, stomach looks good... check. Spine looks good... check. Brain measurements look good... check. Palate looks good... check. With each measurement and inspection of all her organs and parts I breathed a little sigh of relief. I was excited about the girl part but most excited to learn that she was developing as she should. I always get so worried right before each ultrasound. After having four beautiful healthy children I thought I shouldn't push my luck any further and that we should be done. I guess someone had other plans for us and I was so afraid that we wouldn't be so lucky this time. So thankful she looks fantastic and now I can ease off on the worrying so much.

Now Mike can breath a sigh of relief because he won't have to repaint the nursery and I loved Aria's bedding so much I won't have to sew any new bedding! It will be pretty fun having another little princess around the house. Aria is already getting excited about having a little friend to play dress up with.
