Baby Allen is... Baby Girl Allen

Today was one of those milestones a pregnant couple waits for. The day to find out whether blue or pink will be a suitable color. Well, today was our day and we were totally and completely amazed. The color for us…PINK! We’re having a little baby girl. We are still unsure of a name, so be patient.




Friends, meet our baby. She is 18 weeks 4 days old and about 9 ounces.



Here is a beautiful shot of her spine.



And this is a precious shot of her foot...amazing!




This shot just confirms...it's a girl.



The whole thing was a bit surreal. There we were, in this dark room, I was lying there facing a screen that in mere moments would reveal the big secret. The nurse moved the wand showing us our baby’s head, heart, legs, brain and then…out came the words...”and it looks like you are expecting a baby girl”. Nick and I looked at each other and had the biggest grins on our faces. We were so excited to finally know.

The feeling is becoming much more realistic and definite. We are looking forward to buying clothes, toys and all the fun baby stuff we have put off.

WE ARE HAVING A BABY GIRL!
The nurse told us she is approximately 9 ounces and looks healthy. So, for those of you who voted GIRL...good job!
