We Are Having a....

The "alien look-a-like" pose

Today was our "BIG" ultrasound. I was so eager to find out the gender of our new little one. At first we were not going to find out, but then Ran decided that "for decorating purposes" we needed to know...LOL... I had already decided that regardless of gender, Karli and the new baby would be sharing a room. I mean the baby will be in the room with us for at least 3 months if not longer. Karli was in here for 6, but then again she was tiny when she arrived.

I have been CONVINCED that this was another boy since the beginning. Why? because my symptoms were nothing like what I had with Karli, they were more like what I had with Korey. Also I found this great site called babybpm.com where you can put in the babies gestational age and heartrate and it guesses the gender based on normal heartrates at that gestational age, all the old wives tales said boy, and I am carrying this baby totally different. Only one thing said girl and that was the Chinese gender predictor.

Well the baby looked perfect on the ultrasound, measuring 8 inches long head to foot, and weighing in at 11oz which is exactly what it should be weighing at this time. The heart, brain, gi tract, spine and everything looked GREAT... We were so excited. Then came the moment of truth. When the tech tried to look the baby promptly crossed its legs. After a few minutes of coercing with the u/s wand(much to the discomfort of my full bladder) the baby opened up its legs and guess what..

We are having another GIRL!!!!

Needless to say I was shocked. I think Ran was surprised as well, just because of the difference between this pregnancy and the last one. We are both very excited. Korey is excited even though he really wanted a brother.

So I officially introduce you to Harper "Reese" Jones!!!
