It's a...

Kris and I have had a crazy Christmas week. It started Sunday evening opening presents with his parents, grandma, brother, and future sister-in-law (congrats guys!), then Monday evening with his parents and some of his dad's side of the family. Tuesday we had our sonogram and found out that we are having a GIRL! We were so excited we couldn't wait until Christmas to tell everyone, so we made a stop by both our parent's houses to show them the sonogram dvd and tell them all about the appointment. Wednesday night (Christmas Eve) we spent with his mom's side of the family and watched the sonogram dvd again. Christmas day started out with Kris and I opening the gifts we got each other and then we headed to the movies (Christmas tradition) with my parents and brother, then on to my grandma's house to say hi and show them the sonogram dvd. We then proceeded to my parent's house for Christmas lunch, presents, watching the sonogram dvd once again (my dad hadn't seen it yet), and an evening of watching movies curled up on the couch. We made a quick stop by Kris' parent's that night as well. Today was spent doing a little shopping, lunch at Kris' parent's with more of his dad's side of the family, and then we headed home. And that's been our Christmas week!
Ok, so more about my appointment...
It was Tuesday as I said before, and it was absolutely wonderful! To see our baby, even just on a black and white video on tv, was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. And then to find out that it was a girl just made it that more amazing! I think we might have a little gymnastics star on our hands. She was doing all sorts of flips and twists during the whole thing. The tech even had me roll on my side away from her to try and roll the baby in the direction she needed to check an area of the spine. Everything looks good though. The Dr. did decide to push back my due date to the 23rd of May though. So I'm not as far a long as I thought I was. I'll just now be 19 weeks tomorrow, but that's alright. Here's an edited version of the sonogram. The original is 15 min. long. It's not as good a quality as it is on the dvd itself, but it still looks great and you can still see everything. I hope you enjoy and had a very Merry Christmas!
