12 Weeks

Today, I had my NT ultrasound. It was at the Forest office with just the ultrasound tech. I knew that it was going to be a longer appointment so I got a babysitter for Tanner so that I could just enjoy seeing our little miracle baby. 

One of the first things that she asked me was "If I can see the sex of the baby, do you want to know?" I of course said Yes. Over the course of the appointment we got cute little shots of the baby.

Legs



Feet


Body and Face

Then last but not least we got a little glimpse between the legs. 


She was 90% sure it was a girl! I was totally thrilled!
