And the verdict is...

A GIRL!!!! We're having a baby girl! We went in for the appointment at 7:45 (appointment was at 8:00)this morning and of course I had to wait about 25 minutes for them to call me back (on a full bladder no less)...So after ALMOST peeing my pants the technician called me back...She was doing her measurements of the baby and a short while later let me see the screen and showed me the baby's face. She was looking right at us and had her mouth wide open and arms in the air! (I didn't know it was a girl just yet - I asked for Mike to be in the room when she told me)...So after she got all of the measurements (except for the heart - the baby wasn't cooperating and sitting in the wrong position), she called Mike in and told us that it was a baby girl! Mike - speechless - was overwhelmed with joy! :) So, Ella is currently 13oz and moving around! We go back for the heart beat pictures/measurements next Tuesday (after our next doctor's appointment)...

It is awesome that we now know that we're going to have a baby girl join our family and we're really excited!!!!

Love Vickie, Mike and Ella
