Jofrog's Tadpole

The Envelope Please

We had an absolutely perfect ultrasound appointment this morning. The doctor was in a great mood, Tadpole was coopertive, and everything looked perfect.

We saw arms and legs, the most perfect little feet, two hands being held almost together, a heart pumping blood through four perfect chambers, liver, kidneys, bladder, it was just incredible!

A little person profile with a floating hand!
Look at that nose! Ooooooh!

Finally the doctor asked the big question... do you want to know the sex? We told him that if the baby wanted to tell us, we wanted to know, and SHE did! Definitely one little GIRL in there! Just perfect and lovely and doing great!

Oh, the world of knitting patterns this opens up for me!

In case anyone was counting: Lisa B, Melanie, and Alison were all saying that it was a girl (or in Melanie's case offering clothes if it was a girl). Dani and my best friend Miranda were all out boy, and the rest of you just wished for a happy baby no matter the sex... wimps!

So, here we are, half way through, no huge surprises left... well except for labor, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Oh, congratulations! I had a hunch it was a girl (of course I didn't stick my neck out to venture a guess)--you'll have so much fun knitting the cutest things for her!

Congrats! Seems like everyone I know (except one) has had or is having a girl. There are tons of fun things to knit for girls! Boys definitely get the short end of the stick in that department.
