IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!

We're having a baby girl!!

We had our ultrasound November 4th. It was a very extensive ultrasound. They checked her heart, brain, eyes, blood vessels, bones, all the little internal organs, plus a bunch more.....and all came back good and normal. At the very end they finally checked and confirmed it was still a girl!

She's 18 weeks. 8 inches from head to toe and weighs half a pound.

We're now in the process of converting our guest room into the baby room. (Yeah, I can finally call it "the baby's room"!!) It'll be fun making it into a little girl's room. (Scott's been very, very sweet about it all...he's gonna be a great daddy!!)

Below are a few photos from the ultrasound.

Scott & I think she might suck her thumb. During the last three ultrasounds she's always had a hand up by her face! ...Or maybe she just likes having her hand up there! I guess we'll just wait and see when she finally arrives.

Here's a profile of her face.....does she have puffy red checks like her daddy yet??!!

Happy Halloween!!

For Halloween this year we decided to go

with an "ASU" Theme.

(Arizona State University - Scott's Alma mater)

Maynard is wearing Scott's ASU Football Jersey. I was suprised that she didn't fight with me getting into the jersey. She was very willing and even smiled and posed for picutres. Now that's a true ASU Fan!! (Well, a few treats along the way helped out too!!) I wanted to get some devil horns for May but I knew she'd never keep them on.

Here's our Sparky pumpkin. I looked all over the internet for some type of ASU pumpkin stencil but couldn't find one. So I had to resort to creating my own Sparky pumpkin design. I was quite please with how well it turned out. We got a lot of compliments on it Halloween night from our Trick-or-Treaters.

Ultrasound Pictures

Here's a few pictures from our latest ultrasound on October 2, 2008. Our baby is 13 weeks in these pictures. It's still a bit early to tell the gender, but the ultrasound tech took a "sneak-peak" for us anyways...and so far it looks as if we might be having a girl! (...bit of a surprise for us since we had a feeling it was gonna be a boy!...) But we'll find out for sure on November 4th - Election Day!! Can't wait :-)

Oh, and the due date is April 10, 2009.

Here's one of the brain - cool huh!

Humm....will it be a Doctor or a Lawyer....??

Yes, that itty-bitty light colored dot in the lower left side is our baby! (You might have to put your glasses on to see it!!)
