We held out the whole ultrasound saying we didn't want to know the sex of the baby, mostly because Tilly didn't want to find out. She wanted to wait until it was born and have Hyatt tell us the sex, like she got to do with Kiersa. We finally convinced her to give in at the end of the ultrasound since we were dying of curiosity, and we told the tech to go to the region and not tell us, but see if we could tell by ourselves. I instantly thought I saw girl parts, but wasn't positive until the tech finally confirmed it. He held us in suspense for a bit. There was definitely a lack of boy parts, at least compared to Hyatt. Hyatt was obvious from a mile away! The tech spent quite a bit of time trying to get just the right picture, but ended up still with a sub par picture in my opinion, but will all that time spent looking, he said it's 100% definitely a girl. It will be super fun for Kiersa since they'll barely be a year apart in age, but poor Hyatt still doesn't have a brother.
Here's what her skull looks like, and her profile (she was sucking on her fingers...though you can't really tell in this picture).
It was funny because when we first peeked at her, she had her hand up against her face, exactly the way I was holding mine at that same moment, and the tech pointed it out. Very cute! I felt instantly bonded. We're excited to welcome another girl into our family, but are perplexed at what to name her! For the first time ever, we had boy name options picked out before girl names. Johnson jinx strikes again.
I still haven't posted my updates since I'm waiting on the pictures (stinking snail-mail), so beware! In a few days (I hope) I'll have the pictures and I'll be flooding my blog with new posts. Get a comfy chair ready with a thick cushion because you'll be sitting for a while, well, if you're an avid reader of my blog you will.
