It's A.....

Sorry it took so long to post after the appointment this morning. When we got home the internet was down and it is just now up and running...

Well, John and I had the sonogram this morning. It was so nice that John was actually able to see the baby. I think it made it a lot more real to him. We waited patiently as the technician pointed out all the different body parts and organs. She attempted to determine the sex at the beginning of the appointment but Little Bit was hesitant to show us the goods. We just hoped that at some point during the visit the baby would decide to spread it's legs. Here are just a few of our sonogram pictures.

In this one you can see Baby Vasel is curled up. It is a great view of the head, body and spine. The baby was moving all around during the sonogram which was neat but still didn't want to show us what we wanted to see the most.

This is a picture of the baby's feet. Don't worry the baby has all four limbs and from what we could tell all it's fingers and toes. But still no sight of the family jewels or lack there of...

But finally, after a little bit of coaxing...
She decided to show us that there was nothing there to see! Yup, that's right it's a GIRL! We are expecting a daughter and could not be more excited. We plan on finalizing a name sometime in the next few days because we both want to be able to call her by name and talk to her. I already know she is going to have her father, grandfathers, uncles and every other man/boy in her life wrapped around her little finger. John is going to be surrounded by girls with me, Bayla, and his daughter running around the house. What a lucky man!

So Excited!

Well, I had another appointment this morning. Got to hear the heartbeat again. It is just so amazing every time I hear it. It is a nice reminder "Little Bit" is still in there. I got some good news as well at my appointment. John and I thought we were going to have to wait until July 13 to find out the sex but we get to find out in 2 weeks, June 29! YAY! I cannot wait! It will be nice to be able to start planning and registering and all that good stuff. Not much else to say...Just wanted to give you all a brief update. Be looking back in 2 weeks for the big news!

Waiting...

Well I have an appointment this Friday, June 15 and I was hoping John would get to be there to hear the baby's heartbeat but it looks like he will be in Canada. I have already threatened him that he has to be here for the next appointment when we find out the sex of the baby. I cannot wait. I am getting very very impatient when it comes to finding out the sex. I want to know now.

As I am sure most of you know we have been hoping for a boy. But lately I am starting to want a girl too. I just see all the little girls at work and at the stores and they are so cute! We will love either one just as much no matter what it is. I JUST WANT TO KNOW! I want to start looking at cribs, car seats, high chairs, etc...

This is definitely a very exciting time in our lives and we are so blessed to have such supportive family and friends. We are also excited to be going through the experience with a couple of our friends as well! This past year has been wedding season for John and I because almost everyone we know has gotten married and now it seems baby season is starting. :)
