it's a...GIRL!

i had my ultrasound this afternoon and i am STILL in shock! we are having a baby girl!! and everything looks good so far.

we were supposed to have the ultrasound at 9am, but their machine broke and so we had to go home and wait until noon to go back in. you would think that waiting another three hours would be nothing...but, it felt like FOREVER!

we were so thrilled and shocked when she told us we were having a baby girl. we have a little "curse" on my side of the family with my sisters where...until now...the girls have only had one gender. it's either boys or girls. katie has 5 girls and melissa has 4 boys. so with my two boys i thought i was destined to continue the "curse". so this was a big deal! (;

anyway, since we had to come back in later they give us a free dvd of the ultrasound and then took some 3d pictures for us. my mom thinks they are a little scary looking, but i think they are SO PRECIOUS! i love seeing her little face and her hands cuddled next to her cheek. she looks like an angel.


our proof. no turtle here!



even though kevin has been brain washing the boys by telling them they wanted another brother they were ALL happy to hear a girl is on her way!

now the name search begins.

Awwwww.....SOOOO fun! I always wanted one of those 3D things. I think she looks a little like Wes in that picture. We'll have to see when she comes out. SOOOO fun, and I can't wait for her to get here.

A GIRL....THAT'S SO AWESOME! Congrats! I'm glad you guys could break the curse with your family. But now there's a trend starting on the Ward side of the family. Aaron and Sarah have two boys and then a girl and that will be the same way with you guys. Fun stuff. Have fun thinking of a name.
