What'll it be? (the search for the next little Thompson)

So I'm sure you're all wondering what the next little Thompson will be. I was dying to know myself.



I couldn't decide exactly which image to put up to advertise the results of the ultrasound today so I put two different ones up. So don't get all confused, we are not having twins.



In fact, it was difficult just to see the gender of the one we do have because it was curled up in a ball with head on chest and knees locked together.



We couldn't tell for awhile if there was something there or not. Finally, the doctor came in and did some extra measurements that the tech couldn't get because the baby was low in my pelvis and wouldn't move enough t0 see everything.



He confirmed it for us. It's healthy by the way. Measuring a little small but they decided to keep the same due date of May 11. But that's no surprise. I have small babies.



And for those of you who have actually read this whole post and are anxiously awaiting the verdict, here it is...

That's right. We're having a girl. We are so excited. I was so psyched up for a boy I didn't believe the tech and made her confirm it 4 times. Then I made the doctor confirm it again. By the end I was sure. She moved her legs just enough to make sure there were no extra parts.

Landan's first words were, "Ah man. I wanted 3 boys because boys are cool." But then as we were at Carter's (my favorite baby store) picking out the right outfit to make the announcement, Landan spent about 10 minutes going around the store telling me how cute the new baby would look in this outfit or that outfit. It was adorable. I must admit, he picked some really cute stuff.

So get ready Cindy. I'll be a constant customer in your store from now on. And Cassie, you'll have to teach me how to make those cute bows and tell me where you got the headband from again. And Mom, we'll have to talk blessing dresses.
