IT'S A......

GIRL!   Yep…so start collecting if that was the wager you made.   I was so convinced it was a boy that I really had no way of processing that it was a girl.   Brendan’s reaction was priceless and perfect!  He is getting his baby Pixie!  Do not worry Pixie is not the official name which leads us to…we have no name…We (or maybe me) were getting down to finalists in the boy name department.   I really loved Rayland Harris O’Brien.  I know, I even gave up on my boy name of Finnan! Now that we know that it is a girl, I guess we should get to work on picking names and decorating the room….but we have 4 more months for that!

The ultrasound was awesome.   Brendan got to see Pixie move a TON!  We also saw all of her super healthy vital organs, toes and feet.   She is weighing in at 1 pound already!  This means that we will have a full grown toddler at full term!  Seriously, she is predicted to be around 8-9 pounds…Thank GOD for drugs (shut up hippies don’t even want hear it!).  I think the ultrasound made it very real for Brendan….for me it is like watching TV so I don’t connect that the thing on the monitor is the thing in my tummy….

I hope you had a wonderful 4^th of July weekend!  We did!  Super chill, filled with family and sunny!

Below are some pictures…the standard that you are used to and the ultrasound pictures.   Oh...according to the books she is the size of a small cantaloupe!

Sorry  I do not know how to rotate the pictures in this program...so tilt your head to the right...you are looking at the head and tummy of the baby.
