Our Sweet Baby Girl...Carter Anderson!!

What an exciting day we have had! Our OB appointment was bright and early, we couldn't wait another minute to discover whether we would be adding another precious girl to our family or a sweet boy. It didn't take long at all to discover "Baby Peanut" is a GIRL!! As we were watching the screen, we were holding hands tightly just so anxious to find out. As soon as she announced girl, I looked over at Wes and he had tears of joy rolling down his face. He is so emotional, but that is what I love about him. These two girls are totally going to have him wrapped around their little fingers. Our ultrasound was amazing!! The lady was so slow and descriptive. She pointed out everything and truly made this experience one we won't forget. As we were watching Carter on the screen, it was evident she is all about her hands. Which is funny, because Malia was all about her feet when she was in the womb. I think we will need to have many paci's on hand, because her hands hardly ever left her mouth. One thing we noticed, she is very strong-willed just like her bigger sister. The ultrasound lady was trying to get her to move to capture pictures of her heart and other organs, and she wouldn't budge. Finally, on her own time...she rolled over and allowed us to get those images. We are super excited to meet sweet Carter in a few months. Below are some precious ultrasound pictures. Enjoy, and thank you for continuing to pray for a healthy baby. She is more than we could have ever asked for or imagined!! We are so grateful and blessed.

Those sweet little hands!!


Her head is in the bottom left of the screen facing upwards. Her arm is bent with her hand over her face, as if she were telling us no more...let me sleep. ;)

Yet again, arm up around her face. For most of the ultrasound she was upright and was sitting on her feet. So we didn't get any clear feet pictures. Perhaps, she will have her mama's feet and not daddy's flinestone feet. ;)

We were laughing so hard when this image popped up. It was as if she were telling us "I am okay in here mommy and daddy". This picture is one of my favorites and warms my heart. It will make the scrapbook for sure!

Well we are at the half way point, she is due April 21st. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she continues to grow over the next four months. Now it is time to start thinking about the 'new' nursery. Let the fun begin!!
