It's a GIRL!!!

This image looks like Gracie is "mooning" the camera. Her little butt is to the left and her legs are sticking out towards the right. The arrow is pointing at the significant parts!
This image is one of her little foot. Her heel is on the left and her toes are towards the right.
This last image is of her face. With this imaging she looks like a little alien from Roswell. We still love her!

Bryan and I had an appointment at the hospital for a fetal growth ultrasound. Grace Marie is healthy, strong and exactly how she should be for 18 weeks and 5 days. Her brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, bladder, stomach, limbs, etc. all checked out fine. We were able to see her wiggling around and open and close her mouth. It was totally amazing!! She was hiding for a while and the doctor had to come in and look at her heart again to get all the views needed, but he said she looked great! He also said that according to their calculations she weighs 8 oz and has a due date of February 29th....LEAP YEAR!!! We'll just have to wait and see when she is ready to join the world! We are very excited!! Poor Bryan has a lot of painting to do...the room was half way ready for a boy...oops!! I have an appointment on Monday with my OB and will post another update next week. Please keep Baby Gracie, Bryan and I in your prayers so that we may deliver a healthy baby girl next year!!
