Father Daughter Dance

On February 10th, Darin and I were in charge of the music for a Father Daughter dance held at our church. We had done it last year and were excited to do it again because it is one of the most adorable, touching things to watch all the dads and their girls, dressed up and dancing together. There is a range of ages, anywhere from 3 years old and up and some of the dad's are blessed with more than one girl. Darin and I enjoyed watching as the girls are charmed by their daddy's and I was telling Darin that maybe next year, he would have his own little girl to hold. Well as it turns out, this was Darin's first father daughter dance! On the 16th we had our second sonogram and we were told that we are having a little girl (or at least she was 99% sure that she is a girl). At first she was proving to be modest at a young age and was blocking our view first with her hand and then with her feet, but with some prodding she moved and we were able to get a good look. We will see her again on March 19th because my doctor wants to keep an eye on the postion of the placenta, so hopefully we will get another good look to confirm that she is a girl. She meausred about 11 oz. in weight and I read that she is now about 10 inches long from head to toe. I can't believe how big she is getting already, especially since the last time we saw her, she was less than an inch in length. It is crazy to think how much more she will grow in the next four and a bit months.

The picture of Darin and I was taken when I was 19 weeks, I will try to get a picture of me in the next couple of days as I am now 20 and a half weeks and starting to look more and more pregnant. These next pictures are of our little girl. In the second picture she has her hand up my her head and in the third she looks like she may be trying to suck her thumb, it was so fun to watch her move all around and to see the incredible detail that technology has allowed us.
