It's a..................

Baby Eichenberger was fully awake (probably because of all the sugar and caffeine I had before the appointment) for the big day. The doctor kept us in suspense until the very end and then gave us great news. IT'S A GIRL! Scott had thought it was a girl all along so he was glad to win the bet. She's doing great and weighs 245 grams at 18 weeks. She's measuring 5 days ahead of schedule per the doctor but we all know that doesn't really mean anything. She'll come when she wants to. I'm starting get a little pot belly now. I'm still in the in between stage where you wouldn't ask me if I'm pregnant for fear of me telling you I've just gained weight. We leave for the U.S. on Saturday and I can't wait to pig out on all of the American food I've been missing out on. So I'm sure I'll start looking more pregnant after our trip.

Below is a video of the ultrasound. I put it on here because all of our family members want to see the baby and this is an easy way to view it. Technology is pretty cool these days to take a 4D video from on top of my stomach. Although still not enough to take the alien-look away. Basically that's my warning for you to proceed with caution if your a little skeptical or just grossed out. The clip is really short so for those brave enough for the challenge quickly look at the beginning and you'll see she's already sucking her thumb. Enjoy!

We'll be spending Christmas with my family this year in Albany, GA. The best part is it's suppose to be in the 70's on Christmas. Finally some warm weather. It's been below freezing here for the last week!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. We'll be back after the New Year so check for the regularly scheduled blogs then. What an exciting 2008 we're going to have!
