IT'S GOING TO BE A...

GIRL! And here's the proof that she has fingers,And that she is flexible like her mother,
And gives creepy looks like her father (and she has a lens--at least in one eye),
And that she has strong legs with some toes,
And this picture is a freeze frame of her when she was showing off for the camera (ultrasound) and stretching her legs out and then kicking because she knew were watching!
We're excited to have a girl. I felt like it would be. She is starting to kick quite a bit--I've felt it! It is amazing how creation and reproduction works--truly amazing!

As far as the ultrasound tech could see, the baby looks completely healthy and intact.

Now for a name. We've been putting together a list, although a long time ago we came up with a girl's name that we both love! Most of our names, as you can see are earthy, hippy, flowy, but we are taking suggestions. I had tons of good boys names, like Bear, Wolf, Otto, Wendell, but maybe in the future. Here is our latest list:

Eve
Acadia
Brooke
Autumn
Eden
Mari
Zuri (swahili name=beautiful)
Navy
Cedar
Rainey
River
Marigold
Grace

Wynn has been liking Navy lately, which has a good sound to it...but Navy, like Seamen and battleships?

How about Precious or Adorable or maybe even Sweet=tart. That is all I can think about when I watch that video over and over again. Thanks again for posting it.
