Ooooops!!!!

So, today we had our routine ultrasound at our doctor's office. The baby is healthy as far as we know and on schedule for August 18th. One thing that came as a surprise is that our baby is actually a little girl!!!! The technician who did the ultrasound said that this is the second time in 25 years of her doing ultrasounds that she has seen this happen. She said the only other time the couple was told it was a boy and it ended up being a girl is when the hospital screwed up. The technician who did the ultrasound was in just as much shock as us. She even got a little smirk before she told us that our baby wasn't a boy. She asked me when we had the gender ultrasound done. When I let her know it was done at 18 weeks she was in even more shock. By her numbers it is very, very rare for it to happen. The doctor said that the mall hasn't ever been wrong so we are now their first! We are sooooo excited that we are going to have a little girl! The name we have chosen is Brinley Audrey Jepsen. Originally, we were going to have her middle name Elizabeth, but Shad gets to pick the middle name so it changed. She is almost a pound and is very healthy. Shad has her ultrasound pictures hung up on his wall at work. By the way, I will be doing another post about Shad's business. He moved his location...more to come. Anyway, we hope you all get a kick out of our update. I lost the cord to download pictures from the camcorder to the computer that is why I haven't posted more pictures. I hope to find it so I can get them up soon!
