It's AAAAAAAAAAA...............

GIRL!

I'm really shocked.. I've gone into each of my ultrasounds fully just KNOWING what kind of baby was inside.. and this time I really thought it was a boy (wishful thinking? perhaps?).. we had a pretty good view of the 'area' and it looks like a pretty good chance that there is a girl in there! :) I feel like i'm holding out for the next ultrasound, like I need a 2nd opinon on the matter! haha

Of course, what the baby is doesn't matter as much as the fact that all her parts look great, she's measuring a little bigger (like 2 days) on some things, a little smaller on the abdomen and everything looks healthy! Our girl weighs in at 8oz!

I'm bummed about the picture selection they gave us. There were a lot of great moments, they had a perfect spine profile shot that included her face.. but nope! They gave us 3 kind of crappy shots.. the doctor thought i had my ultrasound before my last appt and he asked if I wanted a 'copy' of the ultrasound.. I don't know what that means, but hopefully he's going to give me all the pictures or a video or SOMETHING cool! I still have a few study ultrasounds too.. so that gives room for additional snap shots of the babe.

Here is a picture for your enjoyment. :)

oh, and her name will be ....... Delaney Shea Ryan - initials DSR just like her big bro! ;)
