It's a GIRL!

Last Wednesday we went to the doctor to find out the sex of the baby.  I had been feeling like it was going to be a girl- but tried not to get too set on that so I wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't turn out that way!  Well after a 45 minute ultrasound, (so different than Garrisons ultrasound- he has always been more than proud to show the world that he is a boy :) they told us that "bug" is a girl!  The ultrasound tech kept saying "I don't see anything boyish".  So after rolling from side to side and the tech pushing on my stomach (which made me want to hit her) she announced that it was a girl!

It was very exciting to say the least!  I wish you could of seen Ryan's face when she told us.  He just put his hands on his head and had this huge smile.  Don't get me wrong- he is super excited about a girl- we are both just a little scared.

The baby looked great though.  She was already 6 1/2 in long from her head to her bottom- which they said was super big for 18 weeks (Gar at that time was only 4 in).  She has really long legs and she played the whole time we saw her.  Her heartbeat sounded nice and strong.  It was weird seeing a baby on the screen that didn't look like Garrison.  It was funny to me that even though you can't really tell anything about facial features etc.  she looked so different than Gar.  Anyways, the whole experience was amazing- seeing and hearing your baby never gets old!  We already have her name picked out- Allie Parker.  Allie for my sister Allison and Parker is my mom's maiden name.  We are still trying to decide if we want to add another name- Ryan thinks its too much, I am not so sure!  If we were to add a "middle" name her name would be Allie Parker Elise Little. Either way our c-section is scheduled for March 19, so unless she comes earlier that will be her day!
