Our baby GIRL

We had our 18 week ultrasound today and confirmed that we are in fact expecting a GIRL!  They told us at our 12 week ultrasound that she was a girl, but with only 85-90% certainty.  That, of course, didn't stop me (and her grandmas and aunts) from buying all sorts of cute pink stuff.  I'm glad that I don't have to return it now!  :)  Conor also liked seeing his "little sister" on the screen, though I'm not sure he knew what he was looking at...
She is weighing in at a whole 10 oz and is in the 55th percentile for size.   Her head is in the 69th percentile, while her brother's was always in the 85-90th. 
During the entire ultrasound she was wiggling, kicking, punching and rolling around, making the sonographer work hard to get anything done.  I knew that she is really active as I've been feeling her move and kick for a couple of weeks now, but it's so fun so see it too.  We also caught her trying to suck on her hand, which made my heart just melt.  She did a good job letting us look at her face, while her big brother never, NEVER let us look at his face in ultrasounds... :)  She is quite the show-off... :)  So fun to see her in action and know that she is doing perfectly.  Can't wait for the next 21 weeks to go by so I can actually see her in person!
