Give It Up For....BABY AFTON!!

Well folks, thanks for exceeding the terms of seven comments to a whopping 10! Wahoo! And since you've all been so good, here it is! My first real pictures of baby Afton! Isn't she beautiful? Like a good Nielson Girl, I guess producing girls is just something we DO in my family. But I am absolutely thrilled! Trevor predicted a girl on our way over there. And boy did he have tears in his eyes when we first saw her on the screen! I look at my widget--always that baby mvoing around and spinning and I wonder if Afton does that and--yes she does. She was SO active. It took forever to get a positive look. But we DID get one. We're absolutely sure it's a girl. They are very thorough at Fetal Fotos. I'd reccommend them to anyone! I kind of wanted a girl first--I mean, girls are such pleasers and can be so helpful with the younger ones. And I just LOVE her name! Afton Darla Rees. Isn't that pretty? Well, I only have what, FIVE months before I can meet her? Let me tell you, I've been pretty calm about this whole thing, but today's experience has made it all so much more real, and I'm so excited to meet this little girl who is going to become such an important and pivotal part of my life!

yeah for Afton! That is so exciting. I am so happy for you. Let me tell you I love Will to death, but having a little girl has been so much fun, it's like a mini me and its awesome. Good luck with the waiting that is the worst part for sure!!

I'll never figure out how they can tell by looking. I know they find the 'hamburger' instead of the 'hot dog' and all but I still don't see it. I DO love that second photo though- WOW!

I'm so excited for your GROWING family! Enjoy sleep- while you can! MUHHHAAHHHAAA

That is wonderful news, she's going to be beautiful. So happy for you, girls are great and so much nicer clothes out there to wear on them. Lisa said hi, so good to hear from her too. Congrats Megan, you're going to be a brilliant Mum xx

I believe the gene that decides gender comes from the father, so it is really Trevor's fault you are having a girl. And girls are fantastic! You are going to have so much fun shopping for clothes and decorating a girly nursery. So fun. Yea for Megan!

Yeah! A girl! I was a tiny bit disappointed when they told me my first was a boy. Then I was totally relieved the second time when they said it was another boy. I still think it would be fun to have a nice calm little girl though. Good Luck with the waiting...Kelly is right. It is the hardest part (with the first one). Mine has gone so fast this time...besides the physical stuff I deal with and can't forget, I don't even think about the fact there will be another baby after Christmas. And when I do I get all over whelmed and wonder how I am giong to do it.
