Our Little Peanut is a........GIRL!!!!!!

Miss Lainie Marie Hutchings!!! This is our little girl, Lainie Marie Hutchings. She is growing healthy and right on target at the 48th percentile. Her heart rate is remaining steady around 140 and all her organs, bones, etc. look great. Miss Lainie was just hanging out, relaxing and sleeping most of the time. Even when she was "jiggled," she didn't have much of a reaction. We saw her shut eyelids and she was sleeping with her tiny mouth open (just like Daddy does sometimes :) ).

We have a hard time thinking of girl names (it was the same way with Faith), but we kept coming back to Lainie, and it just seems to fit. The meaning of Lainie is "light." We know this child will be another light of love and goodness in our life. She already is. We are reminded again of the miracle of conception and birth. What a blessing and somewhat of a relief for Mommy and Daddy to see a healthy baby girl :)

For our ultrasound yesterday, we decided to take our nearly two year old with us. Probably not the best decision we've ever made as Faith had a hard time being in the room (where she could touch very little) for the 35 mins it takes to do all the measurements, etc. But, it was a family affair, and we celebrated our healthy little sister with Culvers and the park. Faith is practicing saying Lainie, and I'd have to say she's pretty good at it! Hopefully I'll get a video of it up soon. We are SO excited to see Faith and Lainie grow together. As one of three girls myself, I know the special bond of sisters and look forward to seeing that with Faith and Lainie. We had to share the good news :)
