The Rypple Effect: February 2010

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

We are having a girl! Vivian Jane is on her way!

The impossible has happened. A Rypple is having a girl! The last Rypple that had a girl was 3 generations ago. We went this morning at 11:30AM to have our sonogram, get the baby measured, and hopefully find out what we were having. We have definately heard more "It's a girl" than "It's a boy". So going into this sono...we had no idea! The sono tech was really sweet and had a great sense of humor. She started poking around on my belly and blurted out..."It's a girl". She then looked at me with huge eyes and said, "Oh my gosh...did you want to know?" I just laughed. I was busy checking out the screen while Artie and my mom were having a moment behind the sono tech (passing out hugs and kisses). Artie was thrilled with the news and even teared up a bit. She measured her and everything came out great! She weighs 12 oz and is about 6 inches long. We got to see her femur, parts of her brain, 4 chambered heart, and 2 little feet. We have one pic of her profile. She kept her hand in front of her face until the sono tech pushed on her a little and she got a little mad about that. It was super sweet to see her be so active. Feeling her move a bit, but nothing compared to seeing her move on the screen. We met with the dr. in the afternoon and he said all is well.
Here are some pics from our day!

This is my baby bump at 19 1/2 weeks.
