It's a Girl!

















She looks very healthy and was wiggling around like crazy. I'll scan the pictures when I get home tonight and post them.

So - here she is... our beautiful little girl! Ok, I know... she looks a little alien like right now, but Michael and I have all the confidence in the world that she will look nothing like these pictures and she will in fact be beautiful. The second picture is her face, belly and her left hand waving hello. The first and third are profile shots, the first one is zoomed in. I included the third one because we could see her leg coming over her head and her knee coming to her nose... all that yoga I'm doing is paying off - we have a Zen Baby!

My pregnancy hormones seem to go wild on days that I have a doctor's appointment. I've been very weepy all day - happy, scared, maybe a little disappointment it's not a boy (although I'm sure I would have felt the same way if I wasn't having a girl). This making a baby business is emotional work! Now, I'm just exhaused. Good night!

Hip Hip Hooray!! Do I get to pick out the name for your baby like I did for Shelli? I guess I didn't really pick Rachel, I just confirmed to Shelli that it was indeed the name she wanted. So let's see... Karena Antoinette Richelle. And then call her Kari for short. Kari Cavalini. Ooh I love it!!

Karen you hoot! I think we have already picked a name... but we're not ready to share it yet. I'm sure you will approve!
