upon returning from our trip to utah i had a 20 week ultrasound of the baby. the kids were so excited to join us and see their new sibling.
when i was pregnant with kathryn and reese we chose not to find out what we were having. i loved it! waiting months, wondering, imagining. the moment they are born hearing if it is a boy or girl is an awesome thing. we got a lot of flack from people about our choice. i never understood it...it's my baby. their explanation was always, "how will i know what to buy you?" seriously? i'm the one having the baby and bringing it home...i'm not concerned about what to purchase, why should you be?
this time around we decided to find out if our little peanut was a boy or a girl. we already had one of each, i knew kathryn and reese would love to know, dave wanted to know. it didn't matter to me. who knew that this decision would end up being so helpful in the months to come.
on july 21st we found out we were having a GIRL! (i thought it was a girl...i'm 3-0, dave is 0-3.)
to say that kathryn was thrilled is a major understatement! i had to explain to her that we didn't need bunk beds quite yet...and by the time her sister would be old enough to sleep in a big bed kathryn won't want to share a room with her.
reese was excited, but he would have been no matter what.
the baby moved around a lot and we got some great pictures. the profile looks just like kathryn's in her ultrasound. our girls have a very distinct nose that we call a who-nose. so cute and button-like.
here are a few ultrasounds from the beginning of the pregnancy
