Announcing and Anatomy Ultrasound

I'm currently 22 weeks. On July 24th we had our anatomy scan. At 12 weeks I was told we were having a boy. At 20 weeks I was told that there was a 90% we were having a girl. The boys were with me at that appointment and Fred said it was okay to ask. However, we were still skeptical because the doctor wasn't 100% so going into our anatomy scan we had no idea what to think. 

I will say, however, that when I was told boy way back when, I felt that that prediction was just not right. It felt wrong. I felt in my heart of hearts that we were having a boy. I never told that to Fred because I didn't know if it was just wishful thinking and I didn't want to add to the hype of wanting a girl. But deep down I knew girl. When the doctor said he was 90% sure it was a girl, I immediately thought, 'of course it is.' I wasn't as shocked as I thought I would be but I also didn't want to get my hopes up before our official high grade quality anatomy scan. Both Fred and I were extremely nervous going in.

 This is her lady part. 

This is her hand

It's a girl!

When they told us it was a girl, Fred got teary eyed. It was so sweet and a special moment. When they showed us her profile I got teary eyed. Actually putting a face to what they were telling me made it that more real. I was looking at my little girl's features for the first time. We were both so happy, excited and just couldn't believe it was actually happening. We are having a girl! I made the ultrasound tech go get the doctor to come in and scan me to confirm. I couldn't leave without a solid confirmation from them both that it was actually a girl.

This was a few days after we found out baby is a girl. We were dressed for church. I wore my pink dress in honor of us finding out. I feel so happy looking at this picture.

 This is our official social media announcement. We wanted something subtle and not obvious. I, personally, LOVE this picture. I think it's so clever and fun. We got some ideas online but this idea was completely our own and I just love it. Fred did the editing. Everyone freaked out online about the fact we were having a girl but also because of the clever announcement. I am so proud of us for being so creative. I can't wait to see these boys with their sister. 

Now onto figuring out a name...
