Well, it's a baby.........

So, thanks to my WONDERFUL sister-in-law, we were able to get an early glimpse at our little poppyseed, to see exactly what kind of little bundle of joy I'm carrying this time around.  We are happy, proud, and excited to announce that Landon is going to have a new...

BABY SISTER!!!

That's right!  We're expecting a little baby girl!  And, I have to admit that I've already been shopping, and am more than a little excited about all of the PINK!  And Landon is THRILLED that he's been right all along (everytime we've asked him if he wants a baby brother or a baby sister, he has said a baby sister, consistently).  We'll have our regular "medical " ultrasound on April 23, but I would be absolutely SHOCKED if they say anything different.  We looked all OVER THE PLACE, in just about every position possible, and never saw anything even remotely resembling "boy parts."  The infamous "3 lines" indicating a baby girl were clearly visible in every shot.  Jon is THRILLED to hear the news (he, too, had been predicting a baby girl), and when he heard the news, he said "You mean I get to have a Daddy's Little Girl?"  We are VERY excited!

So, without further ado, here's the photographic evidence.  On the top right, is the "money shot."  You can see the three lines on the left, and on the right, you can see her feet pressed together, heel to heel (like she's doing the butterfly stretch).  Her jnees just didn't make it into the shot.  Our favorite is the one on the top left, where she's waving to us.  You can even see all of her little phalanges!

Absolutely Amazing!

Okay, I know I owe you all a "real update," but most of you know my love of medicine, and my dreams of being a surgeon, and this article is just AMAZING!  Modern medicine is amazing, and I can't imagine loving anything else the way I love it!
