Drum roll please...

It is official...we are having a little girl!! We were really quite surprised at first considering we thought for sure it was a boy. All the folk lore we heard ("No morning sickness? It must be a boy!", etc., etc.) had caused us to almost unconsciously start preparing for years of T-ball practice and buzz hair cuts. However as soon as the mental adjusting was done we happily headed full speed ahead into the pink haze of frilly dresses and stuffed animals. Baby girl Buskirk has even received her very first baby doll. We can't wait to start decorating the room and stocking up on baby supplies. Justin may think I am crazy but I have already purchased my first box of diapers (I see no harm in being fully prepared).

The doctor told us at the last appointment that baby girl Buskirk looks great and everything is progressing well. She appeared to be very active on the ultrasound so hopefully I will start feeling her move soon. I can't wait! We have another ultrasound scheduled for the weekend of our 1st anniversary (can anyone believe it has already been a year) where they are going to give us a more detailed view of the face and organs. I will make sure to post the pics after that one. For now this will have to do...

...she is now the size of your average pomegranate!!
