For those who haven’t been following along on Facebook and Twitter, we just found out that we’re going to be having a baby girl. We got to watch her moving around for a full half hour on the ultrasound yesterday, and we are smitten.
Everything looks great – she’s growing well, and has a nice strong heart and a good lookin brain. I am overwhelmed by how blessed I am to have been able to carry her for the past 20 weeks. I realize that at any moment it could be over, and I don’t take this lightly. Seeing her squirming feet while she rubbed her eyes with her hands was quite possibly the most exhilarating experience of my life.
I’m halfway done with my pregnancy, but I suddenly have a very strong desire to be finished and holding her! My little Penny, I cannot wait to meet you face to face. For now I’ll settle for looking at your cute little bootie. And I’m certain you got those feet from your dad.
Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she’s in a play
She is anyway

I love you! You’re gonna be a great mom.
