WE'RE HAVING A....

GIRL!!

We just had the ultrasound last week and found out the exciting news...we are really excited to "even things out" in our family and can't wait to meet our little girl in June/July 2010. Right now the official due date is July 4th, but I have yet to have any of my kids on their actual due date. Kenna is a bit worried that I'll miss the parade and fireworks if I have the baby on the 4th...she is a little "worry wort" like her mother.

Here are a few cute pictures from the ultrasound:

- this is a profile with the little hand resting over her eyes and the other hand on her chest

- is this not the perfect profile picture?!? And her cute little hand under her chin

- here she is looking right at you - the kids are afraid of this picture...they call it the skeleton picture..do you see it?!?

We told McKenna and Harrison that, after the appointment, we would take them to lunch and whatever color the drink we got was (i.e. pink = girl, blue = boy) that would let them know what we were having. On our way to pick up McKenna from school, Harrison mentioned that he really hoped it was a girl for Kenna...so she could have a sister like he has a brother. We told him that we weren't the ones to decide which the baby would be. He started to cry because he was so concerned about McKenna having a sister...it was the sweetest thing!

We've been trying to let Tyler know that we're having a baby and so I showed him the pictures and told him, "this is a baby growing in mommy's tummy." and pointed to my tummy, and ever since then he will grab the pictures and push them up to HIS tummy and say, "baby in tummy."...I don't think he's grasping it quite yet!
