And it's a .... Girl!!!!!




We are now at the 21 week mark.

Today we went to the doctor's office to see our baby for the first time, after moving the appointment back five days to match Brett's day off. Bryn-Erinn has been very excited. She has thought our first baby was going to be a girl after having a dream before she found out we were pregnant. After that, Bryn-Erinn has never doubted that our baby was going to be a girl. Brett, however, was okay with boy or girl as long as it had all its parts, and would play catch with him. Over the last week or so, the baby has been kicking and moving about, just to let us know that she is in there. She also has a bit of an attitude. She kicks whenever Bryn-Erinn's tummy rumbles or when she drives over bumps, as if to say, "knock it off out there, I'm trying to grow in here!" We are, of course, very excited for our new baby. It was very touching to see her face; to see how she is folded like a taco in the womb; to see her little four-chamber heart pumping away; to see her little hand wave at us. We also know that she is attached to us because she was very active: Bryn-Erinn stated that she is built to be a hiker.

Enjoy the pictures, we sure have.
