Lane's going to have ...

Monday we made a trip to my OB/GYN to do our 20 week ultrasound.Yeah, I look like I'm not in my right mind and my face looks fat, that or I have a distorted skinny idea of what my face really looks like in real life. But, anyhow Clint took the picture while the technician had me on the table checking out our baby. Clint thinks I don't post any pictures of myself, because I don't, so I'm posting this one just for him.

Ta-Da!!! Our baby, who we are affectionately calling BB. Notice the baby's hands, my Doctor's first comment when we went back to see her after the ultrasound was "Wow, your baby has really long fingers". My first thought was great, another extra large child!
Before we went to the Doctor's office we made envelopes for our parents to announce the sex of the baby. Since we didn't know what the baby was before we were going to send them we made one card that said girl and one that said boy. We mailed the cards with the intention of them just opening the one envelope of the baby's sex. Our plans didn't exactly work as intended...I did get a picture of my two boys with the correct card before we left the Doctors!!! It's a GIRL!!!

As to how the parents found out:

My parents didn't get their envelope before their big get together with friends as planned so we went with plan B. Ruth, my Mom's bestie was a huge help and printed out this picture for my P's to see. My Mom called right after she found out. She sounded excited but not overly so, I asked if she was excited and her comment was "yeah, but I knew it was a girl". Kinda funny, but I have to agree with her, I felt the same way when we found out. I've been telling everyone I thought she was a girl from day 1. My Dad told me Lane is going to be a great big bother to a little sister and I do have to agree!

Clint's parents finally got their package today and we got on the phone with them via a three way connection. Gotta love three way. Anyway, I got to be the one to tell them to open the envelope labled #2, after what seemed like 5 minutes they finally got the envelope open. I think they were so anxious to find out, that they dropped the envelope in the process. Once the envelope was open I think all of Longview could hear Margaret yelling. After having two boys, and two grandsons I think to say she is excited to have a granddaughter would be an understatement.
