We're having a...

Girl!

We're having a girl!! We are so excited to get ready for our sweet baby Sophie!

I don't know why we were completely caught off guard at the news because the chances of having a girl are, after all, 50/50, but we were  expecting a little boy. Drew and I are still getting used to the idea, but it's definitely growing on us. We are so very happy to have a name and a gender to put to our little one!

At our appointment yesterday, Baby Sophie's body measurements were estimated to be 41% (with 50% being average growth). She weighed 9 ounces and her little femur was only 3 cm! Such a teeny little girl! Her heart rate was 150 beats per minute. Everything right on target... hopefully I'll have a small-ish baby to deliver!

There are some clear shots here (below)... We told the tech about Kelsey's mistaken gender recently (my sister's baby was expected to be a girl, but came out a boy!) so we made sure to get a good look all around. Our baby is definitely 100% a girl! We were shown another picture with three little lines that were "little girl parts".

Our little Sophie was quite the wiggler but was cooperative for most of the pictures. At the beginning, she was being quite modest, crossing her ankles and arms and showing her "girly ways" already by keeping her hands by her face. She was being quite dramatic. We have such a GIRL already! Hehe!

Definitely a GIRL!

A shot from the top: so cute!

She already has my wide feet... poor girl.

All scrunched up, trying to stretch!

Sophie wasn't being very cooperative for a good profile picture, but we finally got an okay one:

We already love our baby girl so much!

About her name: Sophie was a name thrown into the mix months ago, when we were trying to narrow down to just a few names. When I was a teenager, I babysat a wonderful family of 5 boys and a baby girl, named Sophie. Ever since babysitting "my angels", as I called them, I loved the name Sophie! When I brought the name up to Drew he said he really liked it. For those who know Drew, it's not very common for him to express how much he really likes something because he is so easy going and normally just agrees. But when we talked more and more about "Sophie", he said it was his favorite girl name of all.
As for our baby girl's middle name... I think Drew and I will be keeping that as a little surprise, only to be revealed when she is born. We have three middle names in mind.

There it is! Our baby girl: Sophie Barron!
