I just wanted to take a minute to update you all on baby Brent. We found out last Wednesday that we are having a girl! Well, at least it looks that way from the most recent ultrasound. After a 1 hour long level 2 ultrasound (checking all anatomy and structures), the ultrasound tech looked between baby Brent's legs and said, "Well, I don't see anything." Gabe asked her if she would please check again because he swore he saw something. She suggested it was probably a foot, but said she would look again. She still didn't see anything, which led her to believe we are having a girl. I started giggling because Gabe and I, and most everyone we've talked to, have been pretty sure we were going to have a boy (for one reason or another). Ha, ha, so funny! I really didn't care what we had, as long as it's a healthy baby. Gabe, well, Gabe had his heart set on a boy so he is working on warming up to the idea of a girl.Wednesday night we got together with my parents, aunt and cousins for dinner and "the big reveal". I baked a cake with pink food coloring but covered it with chocolate frosting so nobody would be able to tell what color the cake was. I told everyone the secret was in the cake, so we all rushed through dinner and went straight on to dessert! They were so anxious to know if we were having a boy or a girl, it was kind of comical! Anyways, uncle Ryan's birthday was just two days away so we lit the candles on the cake, but totally forgot to sing Happy Birthday to him! Poor Ryan, maybe combining a gender-reveal cake with a birthday cake was a bad idea! Leave it to me and need to multi-task! Sorry Ryan! Anyways, Ryan cut into the cake with everybody's heads sandwiched in around him to get the first peek. They saw pink and got so excited (again, they all were thinking boy)! My dad was especially excited because he REALLY wanted a girl. It was a great evening and a fun way to celebrate the coming of the first child/grandchild! Anyways, here are some recent pictures from the last week in the lives of the growing Brent family.
This is the most recent "belly-pic" we've taken. 18 weeks, 5 days.
The gender-revealing birthday cake
Anxiously waiting for Ryan to cut into the cake and reveal the big surprise!...notice the father-to-be in the background who can hardly contain his excitement...ha,ha!
Secret's out!
And a recent picture of our "not so little anymore" baby. She's about 10 inches long now!
And here's my favorite! I outlined this picture because it was a little hard to see, but I just love those little thighs and toes! She is sitting "Indian style" here, so what you're seeing is the left leg with the right foot crossed over.
