Its an Alien!

Sorry to keep you guys waiting, if any of you were. We wanted to tell our parents first and it was hard to get a hold of them. My mama had her phone off accidentally and none of my siblings were close to let her know I was calling. John is working a 16 hour shift today so he has been pretty busy. (Especially since they have EFY up on BYU campus.) Let's just say we had an early start since John had to be at work at 6 am and I had a meeting at 6:30 am.

We had such an amazing experience watching our little baby move around and show off its moves. It was even swallowing some fluid (which is basically recycled if you know what we mean). We heard the heart tones. I loved watching it move around. I can't believe we are so fortunate to be its parents and I can't wait for its birth.

This is one of John's favorite pics of our little one:

While we were waiting to learn what our baby is, all sorts of things were going through at least my head. For starters I wondered if it was going to be a girl or a boy. Every time that the doctor moved the instrument looking for pictures of the baby I kept looking for some sign that the baby was a boy or a girl. Every different angle I was looking for something to indicate it one way or the other, though I must admit that I had no idea what I was really looking for or how I would know, seeing as how I've never had a kid before. After about 10 minutes the Doctor began indicating different things about the baby, here are the feet, here is the baby from the right and here it is from the left, but she never quite got around to telling us what the thing was. Quite frankly looking at it from certain angles I really did wonder whether or not it was human, or some little parasite alien growing inside of Angelica's stomach, as it looks like in my favorite picture. Finally after another 5 minutes or so the doctor finally indicated that she was gonna start looking for anything between the legs indicating what sex it was. I personally think that the Doctor gets a kick out of torturing expecting parents. Since I know that you are all anxious to find out after reading all this I will go ahead and let you look at the picture and see for yourself...
