It's a....

GIRL!


We had our "big" ultrasound today and found a little girl kicking around like crazy in there! She was moving like a madwoman. It was really amazing and fun to watch. She did not stop moving the entire hour we were in there. Of course the tech couldn't give us any details, but from what we could tell she has a brain, beating heart, two arms, two legs, fingers, toes, eyes, nose, mouth, etc. All the essentials. The tech did tell us she has a good heartbeat (144 - average I guess is between 120 - 160? Something like that?) and we will learn more at our next doctor's appointment. Also, the AFP (blood test) came back negative, which means they did not detect and abnormalities. Good news!

Jakey was not very happy about having a sister at first. He really wanted a brother. But by the end of the evening he was talking about how he was going to teach his baby sister to play trains - his favorite pasttime - and even show her which direction the trains go. Now if that isn't love, I don't know what is.
