We got a glimpse of our little girl today. She was just perfect. I immediately burst into tears when they told us we were having a girl. In my heart, I felt like I knew already, but the confirmation of that was such a wonderful and overwhelming feeling. And such a huge relief to see that everything was growing just as it should be. She behaved so differently than Cody did during the same scan. She was moving gracefully most of the time, but wasn't fighting the wand like Cody did. He kicked at it so hard and made things a wee bit difficult as I remember. So, perhaps she will be our cooperator??
Cody got to come with us for the ultrasound experience. I was so glad that he was there. He behaved very well and munched his snack while mesmerized by all the images of his little sister on the big screen. There were so many "buppeens" on the control panel and they GLOWED - so he thought the ultrasound tech had the best job on the planet I'm sure. She printed out a 3D photo of his sister's face for him to see. Maybe that made it just a little more real to him.
I am so happy to know finally. And I am so glad that we get to experience raising both a boy and a girl. I'm definitely nervous about raising a girl - perhaps because it just seems harder to be a girl than a boy to me. If she is a girly girl, we are definitely in trouble. I sure hope she will like playing outside and getting her knees dirty. It comes with the family!!
