We went to the doctor Friday, September 11th and found out we are having a sweet baby GIRL! She is perfect and Daddy and Mommy could not be any happier! The sono tech said that she is measuring small and was only 6 oz, which I had assumed since Ben and I were both small babies....I was three weeks late and still only weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz and Ben was also in the low 6 lbs range. Dr. Read wants us to have another sonogram in early November to see her growth progress, since she is measuring small and to get a better idea on her due date. Dr. Read is still not going to let me carry her past Feb. 17th, so as of right now if she does not come before then, he will induce me on the 17th. While we were having our sonogram little Arrington had the hiccups, which was so cute! Her little body was moving up and down with each one. The sono tech said that Arrington has some long skinny feet, I wonder where she gets that from :)! She also said that Arrington is positioned low, which explains why I am constantly having to use the restroom....she must love sitting on Mommy's bladder. We also heard her heartbeat on the doppler and the nurse said she was a "wild child". I am feeling her move more often, but mostly at night when I first lay down on my back or after a big meal. I have felt her kick 4 times with my hand, but Ben has unfortunately not had the chance to feel her kick yet. Hopefully she will start doing some acrobats for Daddy. Below are the sono pictures we had that day.

That night we had the gender reveal party. Ben and I wore yellow and everyone else either wore pink or blue depending on if they thought it was a boy or girl. It was so hard all day to keep the secret from everyone and to remind yourself to say "the baby" or "it" instead of "her" or "she". It was storming so bad outside and people were getting soaked coming in. Everything was decorated so cute and the cake was perfect. Around 8:30 or 9:00 we finally cut the cake and did the big reveal! The knife revealed pink frosting on the inside! Our moms were so shocked because they just knew it was a boy, and the Dads had guessed right all along :)! We are so blessed beyond measure to have such amazing and supportive family and friends... especially to drive in that bad storm! We can not wait to meet our little princess, Arrington Elizabeth Hicks! She is going to be Mommy and Daddy's little angel and will have us wrapped around her little finger instantly!
Oh, and for all of you who were wondering about the IntelliGender test....the test was wrong.
