It's A . . .

We are happy to announce that Baby Brooks is a girl . . . and she has no name. Jonathan and I went to the OB today for my 20 week check up and ultrasound. Everything looks great. We were able to see my placenta, the baby's heart (all 4 chambers), kidneys, spine, bladder, nose bone, lips, hands, feet, umbilical chord, and of course genitalia! Haha. Unlike Hannah, this child is an exhibitionist . . . as you can see in the picture below she had her legs wide open. She is quite long measuring about 11-12 inches, and she currently weighs about 15 ounces (just under 1 pound). The baby was very active, so we didn't get very many good photos, as many of them turned out blurry. We are excited that we can finally teach Hannah that she's going to have a little sister, and hopefully we'll come up with a name soon!


Profile of the face. You can see her head, nose, etc.


There's no doubting it . . . she's a girl!

Eric and I LOVED the baby pictures of Hannah - especially the naked bathtub shot - how adorable! Happy Birthday to her, too.

Congratulations Lori! I'm so glad that everything is going well with this pregnancy. I will continue to pray! How exciting to have a little sister for Hannah! It means too that you can have more to try for a boy! You guys do make cute babies! Give Hannah a big hug and kiss from us for her birthday!
