I know, this kind of announcement is usually reserved for when the baby is born, but we wanted to find out ahead of time if we were having a boy or a girl. I was trying to think of another way to say that semantically, for instance, "It's going to be a girl!" But that doesn't work, because she already is a girl. The technician got this shot of her backside at such an angle that it almost seems like she's sitting on the camera. It was amazing to watch her on the screen during the ultrasound. She wasn't being very cooperative with the technician, kicking and squirming the whole time. I've been able to feel her movement for quite some time now, but now I can imagine what she's doing in there whenever I feel that "fluttering." I guess I'm in for a bad road ahead if she's this active already. In no time at all, she'll be playing soccer with my bladder and kidneys. I can't wait!

Everyone has asked us if we have a name picked out yet. We've had a name for a girl for awhile, so we were hoping for a girl because we hadn't decided on a name for a boy yet! We've decided to call her Margaret Grace after my mom's mom. I think we'll wait to meet her to decide on a nickname that suits her. As you can see from the poem below, there are a few to choose from!
In search from A to Z they passed,
And "Marguerita" chose at last;
But thought it sound far more sweet
To call the baby "Marguerite."
When grandma saw the little pet,
She called her "darling Margaret."
Next uncle Jack and cousin Aggie
Sent cup and spoon to "little Maggie."
And grandpapa the right must beg
To call the lassie "bonnie Meg."
From "Marguerita" down to "Meg,"
And now she's simply "little Peg."
