Sweet Little Baby!

So I guess we are making it official by posting this on our blog, but we are excited to announce that Brielle will be a big sister sometime around September 7th. We have had reservations about announcing this one due to my last pregancy that ended abruptly after 14 weeks. And if you have done the math you are realizing that I am just shy of that mark on this pregancy, but everything is going really well so far. Both families have been informed and since very few others read my blog, oh well. From the beginning of the last pregnancy I had a really uneasy feeling. This pregnancy I have had nothing but joy. Not saying that it couldn't happen again, but my mother's intuition is telling me it will all be ok this time. Brielle was the first to hear the news (unfortunately she was hanging out in the bathroom -as kids do, when I took the test). We have learned a lesson though that maybe next time she may be the last to know. We have had anxiety going a few places wondering if she would announce the news before we got the chance. She held the secret pretty well & we let her tell the news to the family. In her words, "Mommy has a baby in her belly!" It will still be another month before we know the sex of the baby, but she is telling me this week, that it's a sister.

Can you tell which side is which?
Most experienced parents may be able to tell. But the dark space at he top right is the brain. I think from there you can figure out the rest of the anatomy. Pretty good ultrasound for 8 weeks. That was 5 weeks ago!
