We are at the halfway point! Yesterday we had the ultrasound and all appears to be going well. The baby was flipping positions constantly, giving the sonographer quite a challenge. The baby was moving so much that we actually have to go back next week for a follow up ultrasound to get a view of the heart that they couldn't get! There were no concerns at all - the other views of the heart and everything else looked great. Besides, we're always excited for any chance to take a peek in there.
And of course this was the deadline for Lori's decision: to find out the sex or not to find out. Friday she came home from work saying that she thought she wanted to know. Saturday she was pretty certain. Sunday it was a done deal and we were finding out. The plan was to ask the sonographer to write it down on a piece of paper so we could read it later and not find out in the doctor's office. Less than 5 minutes into the ultrasound, Lori blurted out, "I can't take it! Can you just tell us?!?!". After a little searching, the sonographer pointed to the baby's bottom while typing these words on the screen....

I'M A GIRL!
We couldn't be more thrilled and are so happy that Ellie will have a sister! We filmed Ellie seeing the ultrasound pictures for the first time and hearing this big news. You'll see she wasn't all that impressed, although at the end when she's leaning down over the pictures it's because she's giving them a hug.

We are so thrilled to know that we have another little angel baby girl coming! (Though honestly, we would be thrilled with a healthy baby giraffe!) You will have so many wonderful times watching these two grow up together just as we did with you and your sister and I am sure that Lori's mom did too. Happy! Happy" as Ellie says.
We will all be thrilled to have a new, healthy baby in our family. Ellie will be thrilled to have a little sis. I don't know how Ellie will be able to stand the wait!
Nothing better than a sister! :)
How exciting and fun! And Ellie is going to have so much fun being a big sister!
