It's a....

We went to the doctor's office the 23rd of December and had the ultrasound that was supposed to let us know whether we are having a boy or a girl.

Well, the baby didn't cooperate as well as we were hoping. The umbilical cord was right between the legs. The doctor kept wiggling the device around, trying to move the cord or the baby. Finally, after tipping me back on the table, he was able to get a more accurate reading. He said, "I think I got it now." I asked, "How sure are you?" "Hmmm.... about 98%."

We had him put the baby name in an envelop we had prepared to be opened on Christmas.

Christmas eve - or at 12:01 am on Christmas morning -
we opened the card.

The anticipation was killing us!

We were so excited to see that our little girl Vivianni will be joining us in just a few months!

So exciting!
