The ultrasound tech was only 85-90% sure, so there’s still a chance for a surprise. Apparently our baby is “a mover”. She wouldn’t stay still and cooperate!

Nicole! Congrats! How exciting! You are going to have the MOST fun decorating for (and dressing!!!) your sweet baby girl!
I have two boys and was told the same, 85-90%, but the tech was right both times! I just knew they were boys too… momma’s instinct at work!
You look great! And so does your wallpaper! :)

Congrats on the 85-90% girl! My son was a womb wriggler and it hasn’t stopped after his birth. Get ready for some fun around 8 months when they run out of room and every kick ends up against a rib.
Brie
yay for pink :)

Congratulations! I have a two-month-old baby girl. She’s the best thing that ever happened to me. And now you can start discussing names! Just keep a few boy’s names in reserve just in case. We didn’t bother discussing names until we found out the sex (we didn’t need a boy’s name as I had an amnio.)
BTW, I love the wallpaper. Looks wonderful.
Brandie
Aw, congratulations! What a lucky little girl she is going to be! :)

Congratulations!!
We have one of each. We had our girl first (now 2.5 y/o) and recently a boy, too. It’s -lots- of fun to have a girl first, I think. She’s so my little princess, mini-sidekick and partner-in-crime. You’re in for some really terrific stuff. =)
