We had our 18-week ultrasound today and were very excited to try to find out the gender of the baby. Aaron was hoping for a boy, and I was hoping for a boy for Aaron. As the ultrasound began, Aaron and I were looking up at a black and white screen of blobs that didn't make sense to us, and within 30 seconds, the nurse said she knew what it was and told us that it's a girl!! Unfortunately, we never got to see the evidence of this on the screen, but she was pretty sure of herself, so we'll take her word for it!
After hearing this news (and apologizing to Aaron!), the nurse went through the measurements and made sure everything looked normal with the baby. We saw the heart beating and she couldn't stop looking at it and taking stills of it and assured us that this was because it was "such a beautiful heart"! She also said the spine was perfect - these are always relieving to hear. The baby stayed a bit more still this time around, and cooperated pretty well for all of the needed images and measurements. Here are a couple of the ultrasound pictures ... I think the profile makes her look like a Whoville resident, but glad to hear all seems healthy with HER!!

Are you sure it isn't a boy with a really small weewee like his dad?
My moms cooks good!
Pfffft - oh geez! I wonder who this "anonymous" comment is from SHAWN! We're actually not sure of anything since she didn't show us. So, if it's a boy, he better like PINK!
