Ultrasound pics

So I got these ultrasound pictures ages ago, but I just have neglected to actually post them.  So here they are--the first introduction to little Eleanor. 

 Her little face.  This looks a lot like Peter's ultrasound pic to me.  But perhaps they all look this way.  I haven't studied a lot of ultrasound pics. 
 Her profile.  She looks a little funny in this one, if I'm being honest.  Not quite human.  Does that make me a bad mother for saying so? 
 Her head and body with knees tucked in. 
And her little wave.  So cute! 

The ultrasound tech was pretty much convinced it was a girl, but she told me that they never can say they are 100% positive, even with a boy.  But she didn't seem to be in doubt, nevertheless.  So hopefully Elly's really a girl, because we have a lot of girl stuff now.  Chris was happy to have been right the whole time.  We suspected it might have been due to timing (but that's not really a proven method for gender prediction anyway), but I was mostly suspicious due to my extreme morning sickness as compared with Peter.  I was glad there seemed to be a reason for all the morning sickness, and not that I was getting progressively sicker with each pregnancy.  Although I have heard that each pregnancy is different, no matter what.  But, we are delighted to be expecting a little girl--a little nervous about the emotions and drama associated with girls--but delighted nonetheless.  We hope Peter feels the same when he meets her and gets to know her.  I hope they shall be good friends despite the gender difference.
