....And the winner is.....

I think Erka wins with the ONLY vote for a GIRL!!! Haha, we're not 100% certain yet but we had a doctor and a nurse both say that they think its a girl. The little one seems to have everyone fooled. I know, we weren't supposed to find out officially until Monday, but we had to go to a specialist yesterday and thought we'd ask if he could tell us.

First, the ultrasound technician came in and we asked her what she thought. She said that she had a guess but she wouldn't tell us because it was too hard to tell! She told us we had to wait for the doctor's opinion. The doctor told us that he also had a guess and that he was about 80% sure it was a GIRL! Jesse still thinks they are wrong, and is betting on that 20% chance.

We are very excited that now we can start choosing names and cute little girly things! My friend Kristy that is due the day after me found out yesterday that she is also having a girl, so the girl wave is still on (sorry Linds)... and Keesa, Jamie, you guys are next! I'm so excited for all of us!

Now the name choosing can begin... so many to choose from, I was having name dreams all night last night. I woke up in the night and told Jesse I had a dream that we are naming our girl Tolerance, and we can call her Tall for short! He got a good laugh, I don't think I was fully conscious or I would've laughed too. I thought I was being serious.

I already have one suggestion from Lindsey that we name her Lindsey. How did I know she would choose that? I'm open to suggestions, we're trying to narrow down our list of like 20 to just one!

We will post up our ultrasound pics soon. Yay! We are super excited... oh, and the doctor said the baby looks healthy and is just the right size for 19 weeks :) We feel so blessed.

Oh man! I can't wait till we find out what we're having! Ya, Lynds told me the same thing....apparently if it's a girl it will be Lindsey Elizabeth -- of course Lynds suggested her name be first! Ha ha, we shall see!
