It's a Girl!

We had our 20 week ultrasound Tuesday afternoon. Both of our mom's joined us. We're excited to announce we're having a baby girl! We can't wait to meet Page Nicole in July!!

The meaning behind the name...
Page is named after a small town in northern Arizona located on the southern shores of Lake Powell. Lake Powell is an extraordinary place & the setting of many special memories with my dad. Most trips to Lake Powell take place in the summer & include lots of time in the sun. With a due date in the heat of the summer, this name seems very fitting. The middle name, Nicole, is a derivative of Cole. As many of you know, Cole has been thinking of names since he was a little boy (all of which have Cole within the name). Luckily, we were able to agree on a "Cole" name!

Page has grown so much since the the 12 week ultrasound. All of her organs are developing as they should be. We are so blessed! Our baby girl gave us a big yawn, did some yoga for us, & kept covering her pretty little face. It was so fun to watch!

A couple ultrasound pics...


It's a girl! I thought we were having a boy, but wasn't too confident with my prediction. So many people said we were having a girl! I heard a lot of theories...I am carrying low, the baby's heartbeat is fast, & most interesting the nub theory. My friend Mindy watched the 12 week ultrasound & was 100% sure we're having a girl. She based her prediction on the nub theory. I asked the ultrasound tech about the theory & she had done a study. The study included 150 babies & the predictions were 93% accurate. Pretty good odds! Cole wouldn't give a prediction until right before the ultrasound. He wrote his prediction on a post-it note on the drive over. Guess what?! He was right! I'm so happy we found out the sex. It was a great surprise, we get to call our baby girl by her name, & when she is born the focus won't be on the sex.

What a great profile picture! Notice all the development that has taken place!! Let us know if you would like to watch the ultrasound...

Our next OB appointment is at 22 weeks. We'll be sure to keep the updates coming!
