It's a girl!

We have had an amazing week this week!

The week started with news that my brother Chris had proposed to his girlfriend Martine and then got even better.

On Tuesday I felt the baby move for the first time, it was an incredible experience and hard to describe. The best way I can describe it is as bubbles surfacing under my skin.

Then today we went for our ultrasound. The first thing our little one did was give us a clear shot between her legs showing that, we are having a girl! We suspected as much, due to my really bad morning sickness, but it is really great to know for sure.

She then went on to play a game of cat and mouse with the ultrasonographer, moving every time they tried to take a measurement, or get a clear picture. It was pretty funny.

She spent most of her time face down, curled up looking very comfortable. At one time she even held her finger up to her lips in a 'shhhhing' motion. We think that was her way of telling everyone that her name is a secret!

Shhhhhh!

We have decided that we will wait until after she is born to share what her name will be with everyone, partly because it is fun to wait, but also because I want to make sure she looks like she fits the name we have picked out for her!
