Boy or Girl?

This morning we had our 16+ week appointment.
Since our doctor does ultrasounds at each appointment we were able to find out if our baby is a boy or a girl?

We decided we weren't going to share the news with anyone until we told Emma.
This afternoon Emma opened a special box.
Inside the box are either blue or pink balloons.





It's a GIRL!
We would have been excited either way, but we are really excited for Emma.
She has been telling us that it is a girl since we told her about the baby.
We even had a discussion on the way home today...
Mama: What color balloons do you think will be in the box?
Emma: Pink for a girl
Mama: But what if it's a boy?
Emma: Then I cry and tell the boy to go home.
So glad she wasn't disappointed!

Emma is going to be the best big sister!
We can't wait to meet this little girl in June!

Funny thing... during our appointment the song 'Uptown Girl' came on just as our doctor scanned down to that area. Doug said, "it would be funny if this is a girl."
Then our doctor said "well it is funny that this song came on because it is a girl."
