It is a GIRL for Baby Perkins #3
We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday afternoon, and were thankful to hear that our baby was growing and developing normally. Praise the Lord for the blessing of yet another healthy little miracle! We never take that for granted!
In the past, we have always found out the sex at the actual ultrasound; however, Dave had a great idea. Being Valentine's Day, he had already made reservations for us that evening, and thought it would be fun to have the ultrasound tech write down the results for us, seal it in an envelope, and then open it during our dinner. I loved the idea, and that's what we did. We also had the ultrasound tech snap a picture of the "proof," and include that in the envelope as well.
It made the moment that much more special being able to find out if our newest addition would be a boy or girl over dinner, rather than in a doctor's office...what a perfect Valentine's gift. The restaurant is fairly new to Omaha, and I think the only other one is located in Houston (Loft 610: http://www.loft610.com/omaha/gallery.htm)...how fun that we can take her there someday and show her where we found out she was going to be a girl :)
When we called our parents later that evening to tell them the news, my Dad said her middle name should be Valentine. I thought that was such a cute idea :)
I just love these little profile shots

I know how you felt/feel. :) But...we didn't find out beforehand. I had myself convinced that our #3 was a boy, so as to avoid disappointment...and when our little one arrived, and the Dr. said "It's a girl!", I was elated! :) Good job being creative and making the experience so fun!
Happy Valentine's Day and Congrats on your new little princess! :)
