and the verdict is...

we're going to even things out around here and are scoring another baby girl! i am still in a state of shock. when the tech said it was a girl, i kept saying, "are you sure? are you serious? what if it's hiding?" his response was, "well, if it is a boy, he isn't going to have any bragging rights. that will be the smallest penis i've ever seen." we couldn't stop laughing. but i'm still afraid it's going to come out a boy. but that's how i was with macey too my entire pregnancy. up until she was delivered, and the nurses kept calling her a "he," they finally checked her parts and corrected themselves. i'm pretty sure my heart skipped a beat when they kept saying, "he, he, he" after i delivered her.

speaking of skipping beats. our little girl has an irregular heart beat. the doctor isn't too worried about it. but since i have a family history of heart problems (a sister that died at 12 hours old because of heart issues, two nephews that have had to undergo open heart surgery, one of them a few times, and a cousin that had heart issues also, i'm a little bit worried). so i'm going in for an ultrasound with a specialist on the 5th of august to check things out a little bit closer. everything else looked normal on the ultrasound and the heart looked good. the doctor said most of the time, this type of thing corrects itself and just goes away. so we're hopeful for that kind of outcome.

now onto picking a name for this baby. wish us luck! ideas are welcome.
