24 Weeks - Final Verdict!

We had our 24 week ultrasound and check-up yesterday, and the final verdict is.....our baby is still a GIRL! :) She was a little more cooperative for this ultrasound, but not completely. She had an arm or hand in her face the whole time, so it was difficult to get a good face shot, but I think we got a couple cute ones still. She is still breach, but they aren't worried as she has plenty of time to make the flip. Her buns and legs were really low so it was hard for the tech to get an outstanding look at the genitalia but she was confident we are having a girl...and Chris could see the girl parts, so we are moving forward and thinking PINK! Chris got to sit in on women getting ultrasounds in a clinic for an entire day for school and feels pretty confident he saw all girl in there. He was cute during our ultrasound...was all giddy and lipsinking to "I Would Do Anything For Love" (by Meat Loaf) that was on the sound system playing in the room when the tech wasn't looking, while standing up right smack in front of the TV to see our girl. He kept making me laugh, which is not good for an ultrasound!

The doc told us our baby girl looked fantastic - her spine, nose/lips, heartbeat and everything else they were looking at, so we are very thankful. He told us we are rather boring, which is a great compliment because that means we are right on track! 24 weeks is a huge milestone for us as the baby is now viable and able to survive outside the womb (although it would be a tough road)...we want her to keep cooking for another 15 weeks or so.

Here are the pics we got...she looks a LOT bigger than our first ultrasound at 13 weeks - see pic in my blog entry: http://lindolane.blogspot.com/2008/12/picture-perfect.html!

Her hand is up by her mouth in this 3-D pic of her face...SO cute!

Profile - look at her cute button nose!

Various head shots...the 3-D one looks like she's smiling!
