finding out it’s a…

Well, before we left for vacation last week (fun family pictures soon to come!), Rich and I ventured off to our doctor in hopes of finding out whether God is giving us a boy or girl.

At the suggestion of some friends and family members, I decided to treat myself to some caffeine to encourage as much, uh, anatomy-bearing baby movement as possible!

And so, with my Cinnamon Dulce Latte in one hand and Rich’s hand in the other, I made my way into the now-familiar ultrasound room.

Here I am waiting for Dr. Barker to enter the room, pretty giddy from anticipation…or is that the sugar and caffeine???

Here we are with the the ultrasound photo that made us completely ecstatic and even more ready to meet our little one!

And here we are with Dr. Barker. Yep, he’s young, but he is smart, kind, considerate, informative, and, best of all, he is a Christian! What more could we ask for? We hope he is on-call when I go into labor, because Rich and I just love him and want him to deliver our baby!

And here is our baby’s first toy…

And so, there you have it! We are pleased to announce that Baby Smith is a GIRL!

Now is the time for all of you intuitive friends and family members to comment and brag that you “just KNEW it was a girl!”

Congrats!! I also knew it was a girl. She was just being modest on the earlier attempts. That baby bump sure is growing : )I can’t wait to hear the name you two have chosen.

Congrats! I don’t even know you personally, but it made me tear up when I got to the picture of her first toy. By seeing your post in my google reader first, I didn’t have the blog’s background for the clue adding to the suspense. Congrats again!

Excellent!! You guys are going to love having a girl. Yes, I am biased. We love having a precious daughter, and I can’t wait to see how amazingly beautiful yours will be. What a blessing!! Thanks for the news.

[...] just like my blog post finding out Alana was a girl back in 2007, we asked Dr. Barker to join us for a photo again. I’m all about making sure [...]
