IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nate and I had our sonogram this morning and our little girl is doing WONDERFULLY! We got to see so much; all 4 chambers of her heart, her kidneys, a little foot, her arm resting by her head, spine, and of course her girl parts :) The crunch berries I ate this morning were making her move around like crazy, but they got some great pics as you can see; the spine picture is so cool!!! She's measuring great and growing right on schedule. We are 19 weeks and 5 days today, Saturday will be 20 weeks, WOW, we can't believe it!

Mama is doing pretty good; I've gained 8lbs total so far. They did find a little blood in my urine again, so to be safe, they are sending me tomorrow to have a sonogram on my kidneys to see if I have a stone or 2 in there...you can have anywhere from a +1 to +4 for a urine score with blood and I was barely at a +1, so our doctor isn't at all worried, but of course if there are stones, they have to watch me closely as any passing of the stone(s) could cause pre-term labor. We love our doctor and trust her completely, so we're not worrying about this as she told us not to. We of course will update as we know more tomorrow.

We are so happy for our news!!!!! Now we can start shopping, planning my trip home for showers and most importantly, start referring to our little munchkin as a SHE or as Daddy is already calling her, our Little Princess :) What a great day!

Love,
Nate and Kara
