It's a GIRL!!

Neither Thomas and I slept very well last night in anticipation of our ultrasound this morning.  We were both surprised that we were so restless because we didn't think we were that anxious.  Thomas said he just kept having dreams of an ultrasound and couldn't see the baby's parts.  I finally got up out of bed at 6am because I couldn't fall back to sleep.
Our appointment was at 8am and I'm so glad we didn't have to wait around all day.  Plus since it was the first one of the day there was no waiting :) The ultrasound tech was the same one who took the ultrasound at 6 weeks and she is super nice and complimentary.
She first checked the brain, heart, limbs, and kidneys.  The baby's head is really low so it was difficult to get some of the headshots at first. Also she kept putting her hands in front of her face.  And about 40 minutes in when we went to look for the gender she had her knees together and ankles crossed.  What a little lady right?! But we got the angle we needed and were happy to find out it was a girl :) Thomas thought it was a girl all along and I just didn't know.

We are pretty set on naming her Brooklyn Brielle and couldn't be more excited to see her in person in 19 weeks!!!
Here are some short video clips of her moving a bit and swallowing.

  1. Oh my Gosh Lindsey CONGRATULATIONS!! A baby girl how fun is that!! If you guys ever want to come back to our neck of the desert we could use a Special Ed Preschool teacher...I'm hoping the one that was hired this year won't be back next year.

  4. I'm so excited for you! Boy or girl, it doesn't matter; you and Thomas are going to be amazing parents. :) And I love the name! Jeremy and I were thinking of Brooklyn but changed the name at the last minute to Evelyn. Hope that the next half of the pregnancy goes super quickly! BTW, you ought to post some baby bump pictures for us to see!
