Stubborn or Content?

After our visit to the doctor yesterday Matt and I have to ask ourselves, are we having a stubborn baby or a content baby. The lil' Lucas looks great! Two kidneys, two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet, a beating heart, a stomach, a nice curved spine, ribs.... our little bean has become a baby! It was a relief to hear that our lil' Lucas is developing well and weighing in at 11 ounces! After finding out it was looking good we were anxious to hear the sex!

After moving from my back to my left side to my right side and drinking a kool-aid drink we couldn't get it to move it's legs. Katie, the ultrasound tech, was determined to find out what it is for us. Ultimately she was not able to get a good picture of the unmentionables, but with the glimpse she did get she is 80-90 percent sure it is a GIRL. It looks like PINK and BOWS for Matt's future. Should I teach him how to make piggy tails yet? :)

Next time I go to the doctor, June 8, my nurse practitioner said if I ask to see her she will take another look at lil' Lucas to confirm Katie's initial thoughts! Maybe we will hold off another month on the room decorations... I think I am going to go neutral anyways! We are just hoping she is just content in her position and this isn't the beginning of a stubborn life! :)

Below are some pictures from the utlrasound. It was hard to pick a picture where you could see her really well. I did the best I could! The first picture is of her whole body and the second picture is of her feet. Aren't the footprints cute?
