It's a.....

G I R L !!!

It's official! We're having a girl! This now confirms Terra's intuition all along that the baby was going to be a girl. Today we went from "having a baby" to "having a daughter." It was a great day!

Our darling daughter has already shown her ability to give her poor parents anxiety. One of Terra's preliminary blood tests showed some possible red flags for chromosomal defects. For 3 long days we worried until further tests showed that all was normal; our little girl is healthy! As a reward for the anxiety she put us through the additional tests allowed us to learn the sex 3 weeks earlier than originally expected. So we got good news twice today - a healthy baby, and it's a girl!

Mama Terra

Terra at 16 weeks! She's looking like a pregnant lady! After this night she officially decided that she'd only wear maternity clothes, as breathing in these jeans was impossible.

First Ultrasound!

B-Dub

This was our first ultrasound, taken at 11 weeks. Getting to take a peek at our baby for the first time was an incredible moment! We can tell this little one is going to keep us on our toes! Always in motion with the little legs and arms waving around constantly! You can see the head on the right and the feet on the left - in this photo the arms are up, so it's hard to see them.



Because we obviously have not chosen a name yet, we've lovingly been calling our little one B-Dub (short for Baby Weeks). So far the baby is sharing a strong resemblance to Clif. :)
