A sneak peek

No, this isn't the much promised Vietnam post. But it is something BETTER. I've got.....

BABY PICTURES!

We had our ultrasound yesterday and despite the fact that is illegal for the tech to tell what the gender of the baby is, it wasn't hard for us to figure out what we were seeing... or more aptly, what we were not seeing.

But the tech did confirm what we did not see. When asked repeatedly by Mike, she finally responded YOJA (which means "girl" in Korean).

Another girl to complete our family. We are over the moon. This is exactly what we wanted. We've always said we wanted two girls and a boy and would adopt whatever we were missing. Well, the adoption thing isn't to be with me having gotten myself knocked up. I kind of assumed since we strayed from the plan, we'd wound up with another boy (which, as long as he's healthy, would have really been just fine with us). But she's definitely a SHE. Or the most sadly hung little boy I've ever seen.


All these pictures are profiles. The baby's head is on the left, the spine curving to the right and up with her butt sticking straight up in the air. Her legs are at the top of the picture. While in this position, she repeatedly knocked herself in the forehead with her knees. I'm predicting blonde hair.


This too is a profile with the head on the left. The stripes in the middle are her ribs and she's holding up a clenched fist near her face (toward the top of the picture).



Yet another profile picture. The baby is now facing the other direction with the head on the middle right. You can see her nose, pointing straight up and the white lines in her face are her jaw bones.

So there she is. SHE is. Another girl. And then we will be complete.

Actually, I think you're mistaken with the second picture. I think she's waving to the proud mom and dad!
