TIE BREAKER!!!

What were you doing on 09.09.09 at 9:00? We were sitting in the waiting room anxious to get an ultrasound and find out our baby's gender. Ben sat in the room rather comfortably playing Tetris, while I found it rather hard to concentrate on my book, Anna Karenina, because I had been advised to drink 32 ounces of water before our appointment without bathroom privileges. Have any of you ever tried to drink 32 ounces of water within the first 3 hours you were awake for the day? It's tortuous. Luckily we had a kindhearted ultrasound technician who took pity on my plight and allowed me to have a comfortable ultrasound :)

And the results are in! Here we have two pictures of a very healthy, beautiful, soon to be born in another 21 weeks baby....GIRL! WAHOO!!!


I was very excited, although not surprised, when the tech told us he believed we were having a girl. It was so fun to see all her little fingers and toes and to see her moving around. He was trying to get some 3D shots for us, but she was so active that everything came out a blur.


Ben thinks this picture is a little creepy...but I think it's cute. Like he told his mom, just picture this with a little pink bow on her head and everything is fine! They said she is measuring perfectly and that everything looked great.

Baby Girl Pingel Number Two: We are so excited to meet you in a few months!
