We're having a...

GIRL!  Our 18 week ultrasound was this morning and everything looked great.  She was ultra-squirmy and the technician had a hard time determining the gender at first.  But then the doctor came in and said "girl" with quite a bit of confidence.  

Because she was so squirmy and hiding behind the placenta they weren't able to get a very clear picture.  Below is the best one we got of her face.  

I love being able to say "she" and "her."  It makes this pregnancy so much more real to me.  

I have to say I'm already experiencing the second baby guilt because I'm not able to spend as much time focusing on being pregnant and day-dreaming about what this little person will be like.  Instead I'm chasing around a sweet and very strong-willed toddler who, when I told her she was going to have a baby sister, said "No!  Baby brother."  She'll warm up to the idea.
