No Longer an ‘It’

I can now start calling our wee one a “she” because we found out today that we’re expecting a girl!

Apart from slipping on the wet ground on the way and luckily only hurting my knee, the ultrasound appointment was awesome.

She was twisting, kicking, punching, and the most amazing thing was we could see her tongue lapping up fluid (gross but all babies do this in the womb). She even attempted to suck her thumb at one stage – aww!

The images we got on disc were not as great as the last scan. Different machine and everything’s a little grainy.

My favourite is the image of her little feet. I’m a little concerned that the foot on the left looks like it has six toes! I’m sure it’s just an artifact in the image though.

Little feetsies

To prepare her for a future 21st birthday embarrassment, we have an image pointing out her no-no place – hehe! (It’s looking up at the cross-section I think.)

No willy here

And if you like magic eye puzzles, here’s an image of her profile. I’ll make it easier for you and tell you that she’s looking towards the left in the image.

Can you see her?

We were also told that she has long legs for her age. She obviously didn’t get those from me, as the scan operator pointed out – thanks. But nah, I know I’m short and if she’s going to be taller than me when she’s ten she can fetch high up things for mummy.

Yay! I’m looking forward to cute cupcake dresses, pig tails and other pretty girly things :)

Yay for having a girl!

All my friends have been having girls so it’s great that you’re redressing the balance.
