************ It's a GIRL!!! **********

On Wednesday, we celebrated our 3 year anniversary by taking a trip to the doctor's office for our 21 week ultrasound. The doctor was able to determine that our little baby is developing at a healthy rate (already 1 pound, which is average for this stage in the game). She was also able to determine that we're having a GIRL!!!

We decided that we didn't want to find out in the doctor's office so we had the doctor put a pink or blue card in an envelope which we opened at a bench overlooking Lake Michigan. We were very happy to open the envelope to find the pink card and pictures from the ultrasound confirming that we'll be having a girl.

Now that we know what we're having we can really start getting serious about names. Also, it's nice now to refer to our baby as "her" and not "it" or "the baby". We are so excited to meet her and can't wait for December.
