Officially Announcing Baby #2 - Girl Rowley

And here she is!

The clinic had a new ultrasound machine, complete with 3-D technology! So we have a mix here - some 3-D, some 2-D. These first three pictures are her little profile. The technician tried to get her profile in 2-D, but Little Sister wouldn't turn her face the right way :) She kept putting her little hands up by her face the whole time, too (as you can see in the video, if you watch it). Maybe she had an itch! One of the profile pictures shows her little hand coming up by her face. 

These 2-D pictures are one of her arm sticking straight out, and one of the essential human anatomy that gives her a significant part of her identity! At one point in the ultrasound, we had this shot with the umbilical cord in the way and I was almost going to swear it was a boy, but it didn't look EXACTLY like Vince, so I just waited for her to say something. All she said was "This is the umbilical cord."

It's funny that when the technician said "Your having a girl!" at first my heart sunk a little bit. Then I suddenly got all giddy. In fact, I laughed almost the whole way home with happiness at my little girl. I think I just got so used to having little boys - I had my little boy, Chrystal had her two boys who I used to watch all the time, and I am living with my in laws, who have three young boys at home, so it just seemed natural for me to have little boys. But I am already in love with my little girl! Looking at her in the ultrasound made it so real. It was almost like meeting her. I feel like I know her. This is going to be so much fun! And expensive, since I don't own any girl clothes... but that's what aunties are for (hint hint, Christy! ;)  )
