It's A....

I know I am WAY behind on posting stuff that has been going on for our little family, but I thought I'd jump ahead anyway to get to the most exciting stuff first...yesterday David and I went to the doctor and had an ultrasound. Here's a picture of our little bundle of joy:

The top picture is what the doctor called a nice Halloween picture of the face. I saw it at the doctor's office but I can't really make anything out now. Oh well. The second is the most distinguishable, the baby's profile. The head is on the right, the baby is looking up and to the left. What a cute baby! The third is what the doctor called a nice pornographic picture (I can't tell) to show us that the baby is...A GIRL!!! Wahoo!

I must admit that I'm a little nervous to have a girl--I don't know how to take care of girls! But, at the same time I am so excited! Now I get to really look at all the cutsie dresses and pink clothes and not just casually browse through them thinking that they're cute. While we were leaving the doctor's office David said (jokingly, of course) "You just had to go and make it expensive, didn't you?" Ha ha, I guess he didn't pay attention in biology, did he? He also told me that he's going to have to put me on a baby allowance. :)

Anyway, jokes aside, we're both SUPER excited (and so is Josh, he just doesn't know it yet).

YEAH!! Girls are so much fun! we are way excited for you guys!! That is way funny about the allowance, just wait until she gets a little older. We were at Target looking for a little kid chair for Brooklynn and of course she pointed to the more expensive one. Jacob just shook his head. It was quite funny.
