"Time to Buy a Shotgun!"

Since November 17th, the day we found out we were expecting, we have been waiting for March 4th...the day we found out the sex of our little bundle! We went to the doctor at 12:45PM for our 1:00PM appointment, and after an agonizing 36-minute-wait ;), we were finally called back! Talk about my heart pounding!

The sonographer revealed several different views of the baby. He identified the four healthy chambers of the heart, 143 beats per second, two arms, two legs, healthy blood flow through the cord, great fluid around the baby, etc, etc. Jason and I could do nothing but sit back and revel in God's intricate creation, how He is perfectly knitting together this little miracle.

Then, the sonographer finally announced, "Well, say hello to your......(insert longest pause ever)......BABY GIRL!!!"

Aghhh!!!! We were ecstatic! I covered my mouth and said, "O my goodnesssssss!" I looked over to Jason, and he had the biggest and cutest grin I've ever seen. :)

When we walked out of the room, we went back to the waiting room for our actual doctor's appointment. We sat across from each other, gazing at the ultrasound photos we just recieved of our baby girl. I said, "Jason! What are you going to do with a little girrrrll??? (in my high-pitched, Brinker-acquired voice).

He said, in his matter-of-fact tone, "Well, I need to go buy some shotguns so I can keep all the boys away."

Hah! O, how I love my Jase. :)
