It's a GIRL!

 We were very surprised to open the last envelope on Christmas morning and see that we were expecting a baby GIRL. The day before on Christmas Eve we had an ultrasound where the person doing it slipped using the masculine pronoun twice. Lou and I both caught it and figured we were having another boy. So, we were all shocked to see the ultrasound results that told us we were expecting a little girl. I won't forget Brendan's reaction-- he said, "Aw, man now we have to have girl toys in the house." It was pretty funny.

We just started our 3rd trimester and Lou and I still have not reached consensus for her name. We like Charlee, Kate, and Victoria Elizabeth. Lou likes Isabella. I like Violet and Ruby.

We have been getting care with our wonderful midwives and she has been head down most of the pregnancy, so hopefully she stays down. Her most active time is when I lay down around 9. She puts on a show for us nightly moving and turning. We can feel her movements getting stronger.
