Drum Roll Please...........

Well, the results are in. We went to peek at the baby on Saturday night once we realized that Jared wasn't going to be able to make it to my scheduled ultrasound on Monday morning due to an award ceremony for Hanna at school. Jared had to talk me into this, as I wasn't sure if I wanted the kids there depending on if this was a happy moment for me or "pretend to be happy moment for me!"

After we all stared at the elusive screen for a while and daddy tried to decipher what the "parts" were, these were the kids comments, and I quote,
Carter: It looks like a monkey!
Jake: No it looks like an elephant (everything is an elephant with Jake!)
Hanna: It looks like its naked!
But we were all the most interested in what Daddy thought it looked like.
Because Daddy said it looked like a ...........GIRL!!!!!!

After having a tech come in and Jared and him both decided it was a girl for sure and then they conferred in the hallway (before telling us) and then came in and told us all (I demanded this very strict protocol), I felt fairly good about the possibility of it actually being a girl. So I made Jared stop on the way home so I could buy Hershey bars and lots of pink cardstock. I converted the candy bars into "SHE" bars and handed them out at church to my Young Women and close friends. It was a fun way to share our most exciting news!!!!
p.s. On a side note, the placenta looks like it has moved away from my cervix. We will have more time tomorrow to really measure, at any rate, things are looking better!!
