The Results Are In!

It's a GIRL! She is learning from her big brother already- she kept her hands in front of her face and wiggled the entire time during the ultrasound. We didn't get any great shots of her face, the best one is below, although we did get to see her yawn! It was too cute. And, the best news is, as far as they can tell from today's ultrasound, she's right where she should be for 21 weeks and all the organs are where they should be and functioning. Healthy so far, and she weighs about 15 oz.

I don't think I have shared Cooper's picks for names. He said if it's a boy we should name the baby Cooper 2, and if it's a girl Jeryn (his friend), or Natalie (which is also what Natalie said). And, for his original pick for a girl's name, Sister Bear from the Berenstain Bear books. Somehow I don't think any of those choices will make it to the final list, but it's cute he wants to participate. He also likes to 'tickle' the baby, wants to know what she is saying, and gives her hugs. I think he is on the right path to becoming a good big brother!

YAY! Mariele kept her hands in front of her face for every single ultrasound. I even tried to get a 3D one, and my Dr. refunded my money (I din not ask her to, she was just nice and did it) because we could NEVER get a face shot. I did not realize that she was going to look like Analese's identical twin LOL! So exciting that you are having a girl!

Oh, and Lilly Alexandra and Maya are great girl names... We loved so many names that they each have two middle names. Lilly Carolyn Brooke, Alexandra Elizabeth Brogan (it's almost like we tried to get the whole alphabet in that one!) and Maya Alice Pearl. Feel free to use any of them. Hahaha, but seriously, so many girl names. Are you sharing any of your picks?

I said this to London and I will and say it to you - I may be a bit biased but an older brother and little sister is just PERFECT! Congrats on everything being healthy and have fun picking out names and shopping for all things girly - clothes and nursery. So much FUN!

And Cooper sounds like he is already on his way to being a great big brother. So cute!

Thank you everyone! Maria- yes, I'll share names if I ever can find some (or narrow down the list). When we didn't know if Cooper was a boy or girl I was dead set on Lauren Elizabeth if he had been a girl, but now I'm not for sure on that one.
