IT'S A GIRL!!

Can you believe it? I do have to say that all along I have felt like this baby is a girl - not for any good reason though. There hasn't been anything really different about this pregnancy. I have had different cravings, but since we moved to Ohio we have eaten so different that I crave different things anyway. The only other thing that has been different about this pregnancy has been the heart rate of the baby. With all my boys the heart rates always fell between 130 and 145. With this baby, the heart rate has been above 150 every time. Yesterday it was 156. However, that isn't an indicator of gender, just an old wives tale. So really it has been just a weird inner feeling that this time it is a girl. I really would have been excited with a boy, too. I truly have the best boys on the planet. However, I have to say that this is all very exciting for us. It is going to be so fun to have some pink around the house. I keep wondering if girls are that different from boys - I cannot wait to find out! She was just beautiful in the ultrasound so I had to share the pictures. She had her hand, fingers, thumb in her mouth the whole time.

In this last photo she is clearly going for the thumb!! The ultrasound tech loved this pic!
