Is it a girl or a boy?

This was the day I had been waiting forever for. I just had to know who was inside me. We did not have a preference and would be happy either way, but everyone one else seemed so sure it was a girl. So the day was finally here to find out.

E had taken the morning off to go with me; he wouldn’t miss this for anything. We got to the clinic and were called right back. “Momma Bird” is friends with the ultrasound tech so it was nice to have someone I know. She hurried us back to the room and was quick to get started. As soon as we could see the baby for the first time I was amazed. It was unreal to actually see what has been moving around in there. The first thing we saw were feet, big ones! The baby had its feet up by its head so we would see two feet and then the top of its head and then feet again, it was so cute. E and I had talked about whose feet the baby would have, his cute nice normal feel or my big Pasquis feet, well it looks like the baby got mine! We saw the profile and everything look good. Now it was time to see if the baby would show us if it was a boy or a girl. The tech said if you look right here we have two little legs, it likes the baby is sitting on the camera and right here you see three little dots, that means we have a GIRL!!!!!! I started crying as soon as I heard the word; I’m going to have a daughter. What an amazing moment. I was so happy just to know who my little one is. I can now call her by name and talk to her about all the things I can’t wait to do with her, all the things I want to teach her and most of all I want her to know how much she means to her Daddy and I and how we’ve thought about and talked about her for so long now, she is our world. We have always said that if we had a little girl she would be name after E’s mom Jillene and she will have my Great Grandmother’s middle name, Annmarie. My nickname is Beans, short for Ninibeans, so we have been calling her Jillibean.
