The Spade's: It's a...

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are so beyond excited that baby #2 is a girl. I had a gut feeling the second I found out that I was pregnant that it was a girl, just like I had a gut feeling with Tanner that he was a boy. I had many people tell me they just KNEW it was a girl. Well, they were right! We are so lucky to be able to have one of each.

We went to an elective ultrasound that was not medical in nature, but more for fun and for bonding with baby. It was in a room set up like a bedroom. I was on a king sized bed with lots of pillows. The ultrasound was displayed on a 100 inch screen and there were several comfy couches for people that invite lots of people. They also had an area with lots of toys for the kids to play with. There were candles and music, it was so nice. If you are in Tucson and want to have this AMAZING experience, the place is called Already Adorable. They have several packages to choose from and they were so nice and accommodating.

Right from the start they checked her heart rate and it was 136, so that blows the "girls have higher heart rates than boys" right out of the water. Tanner was normally in the 150's. She was wiggling and moving everywhere! It was so cool to see her move her arms and legs, hands and feet. She was stubborn thought, just like Tanner and didn't want to show us her face. We got a few profile shots, so we were happy. After about 10 minutes, and me trying to see if I could see boy or girl parts, she went to look at the gender. She was still moving all over the place, but she finally got a good shot. Immediately, I saw three white lines and in my head screamed, GIRL! Then she said, "Well it looks like this baby is a girl!" and typed it on the screen. We were so excited! We got about 15 more minutes to watch her and take pictures. The entire session was recorded and put on a DVD for us. We watched it last night, it was so sweet. Well here are some of the pictures we got of her.
