Who's that girl?

We went to see the second ultrasound today. Everything seemed to be in order, Peanut was kicking and waving one hand. Peanut was lying horizontally and facing my back. I bet that's how Peanut will be after the birth as well, close to mommy, but outside. I asked the doctor if he could see which one Peanut was. He took a moment and asked if we were sure about this. He also said it would take a little work to see between the legs which I thought would be so crossed we wouldn't be able to see the gender. He rolled the ultrasound joystick around my stomach and said that there's a joke of this....a doctor saying to the parents-to-be that either this was a girl or a shy boy. I laughed and was a little anxious...did he mean we were to have girl or was it just a joke? I didn't ask, I just waited. He then moved the joystick and probably seized the frame, pointing the cursor on a little spot and said you know it's a girl by this tiny spot. I laughed and said that's why you need the professional. Hubby and I both laughed...there's no way you could have told it's a girl. I was...over the moon. I'm still over the moon. I've always wanted to have a daughter. I would like to have a son too, but I've had special relationship with my mother and I would like to have that with a daughter of my own. Now there's a chance. My goodness...a daughter. I love her so much already.

Hubby and I really wanted to know the gender, there was no question about it. As I left for work, hubby said "you girls go and have fun now" and grinned :) I told my mother on my way to work. She was happy but that's nothing to do with the gender. I also told my closest workmate. Hubby rang his mom also. She sent her love "to the girls" :)

Hubby's going to be pretty lonesome now since there's the two bitches and the dogs ;-)

We're having a girl!!!
