The results are in!

Josh and I had our ultrasound a few days ago. I wasn't really sure what to expect, except that we were going to possibly find out or "verify" the sex of the baby. Well....I was positive that I was gong to have a boy so I went into the ultrasound waiting for them to tell me it was a boy. However, it didn't happen that way. At first the baby wasn't really cooperating to show us anything. Eventually towards the end the baby decided to move just enough so that we could get a good look. The lady told us that she couldn't be 100% accurate but that there was no evidence of a boy and from what she was seeing she said that it looks like a GIRL. I really didn't say much after that because I think I was in shock. I thought I knew what I was having but apparently I don't really know anything. Either way I am very excited and looking forward to it. When I told my parents they were also very happy! They have both secretly and not so secretly voiced their opinion that I should have their first granddaughter. My dad has already been thinking up girl names (mingled with his name) since I told him I was pregnant. So when I told him it was a girl he just told me that I needed to listen to him a little more often. But on the other hand, in some small way I can't get it out of my head that it might still be a boy. Maybe I just don't want to admit that I don't know anything about what is growing inside of me and that I was wrong. So for now I could just go along with April and state that the tests were "inconclusive", she is sticking to that line because she now owes my dad $10 over a bet about the baby's sex.

whoop whoop - it is a GIRL. I knew it. That is what you get for being so sure it is a boy. I think Nikki is a fantastic girls name. =)
