It's a.....GIRL!

Yesterday was the big ultrasound to check out baby's anatomy and gender. Luckily, one of the first things the nurse did was check to see if we had a girl or boy (thank goodness...I couldn't take anymore suspense!). We have a baby girl! She went from head to toe checking organs and stuctures and she said everything looks normal and there's nothing that looks concerning to her and no Downs syndrome or head/spine abnormalities. :) The uncertainty of knowing whether everything was going okay was driving me nuts, but now I'm a lot calmer (for now).
And yes, after the appointment I had to go shopping. Little miss now has an adorable dress for church, 2 little sweaters, a pair of jeans and a cute little top, and a couple of newborn onsies with little footies. I couldn't help but to buy for her and don't worry, I did hold back from buying other stuff!
We have decided on a name. I think we've had names picked out for a while! We wanted to name him or her after both of our families. So...her name is Audrey Kirkland. Audrey was my grand dad's name on my daddy's side and Kirkland is the name of Jordon's dad and grand dad.

Here's some ultrasound picture of miss Kirkland...
