the BIG adventures of a little girl...

WELCOME to the world of Madeleine Mary, a charming little princess with a neverending smile, bright blue eyes, and an insatiable curiosity that keeps her parents constantly on their toes.

Little Sister or Little Brother?

We had the big ultrasound yesterday for our little snickerdoodle. Of course, as predicted, at the start of the show, Snick had crossed legs, dooming the poor baby to be known as Snick until the end of April.




Everything looked great as is proceeding as it should be. Here's a picture of the face showing the lens of the eye...slightly less weird looking than the skeletal facial shot (or not?).

There was plenty of hand and leg movement, including one fist pump (apparently Snick does not like to be pestered during play time - just like big sister) and the "oh geez" hand gesture.

The feet are actually growing in proportion to the body. Either this kid will have normal sized feet, or those don't really grow until the third trimester.


Oh, and near the end of the appointment with the ultrasound tech, she said she couldn't give us her usual 99%, but she was 88% sure we're having a girl. The doctor came in and said he'd call it 92% sure, so IT'S A GIRL!!
