Baby Fox is a...

That's right we have been blessed with a beautiful baby GIRL!  When the ultrasound started, the tech asked if either of us had a guess.  Steve thought boy and I wasn't sure, so guessed girl.  I was right!  At first it didn't sink in right away, then I started thinking of all the tutus and bows I would be making.  Oh I sure hope she likes bling! The ultrasound was one of the most fascinating experiences in our lives.  The tech started with measuring baby's head, she was shocked with how big baby's head was.  We just laughed!  Come to find out baby is big all around (she even got that belly measured twice).  I was supposed to be 21 weeks and Baby Birl was measuring 22weeks 3days.  We've had several ultrasounds and dates aren't off, so looks like this little sweetie is a grower!  It was so neat to see the tech check over our baby, making sure all bones were accounted for, there were no complications, and we even could see baby had been swallowing.  What a great experience!  

 

Baby Girl also spent a lot of her time hiding from us!  The tech tried so hard to get a nice shot of her face, but she loves her arms by her face so this is the best we have.  I love her little button nose and those adorable little lips!

Here is her profile picture

Look at those cute little legs, she really enjoys kicking away!
