It's a girl!




HANNAH is still due to join us on September 12th, although, supposedly only 3% of women actually give birth on their due dates.  We have some ultrasound pictures that we'd like to share with you....(click on images to enlarge them)!  Hannah was moving around like crazy - it looked like she was doing aerobics in there!  All bones and other measurements were within range, no cleft lip, etc...  Today her heartbeat was 143 (per minute), also normal.  Usually the heartbeat decreases during the pregnancy, which is right in line with what we've seen, since she was at 160 bpm at 8 weeks.  So, all good news because she is anatomically and physiologically (as far as we can tell from an ultrasound) healthy.

Awww, isn't she beautiful? So glad to hear your happy news! And... just THINK of the fun, frilly pink clothes!!!! Or, pink jeans and T's! It just gets better and better. Course you KNOW I thought it would be a boy. Either way, I love 'em both!! But now that we know baby's a Hannah, we'll just think pink. Yahoo!

Dad says she already looks pretty, and he has visions of her sitting on his lap, listening to stories and looking at pictures. It's fun to read this blog. Love, Dad
