Fifteen weeks down - Tank is a GIRL!!!

That is 37.5% (or so) of pregnancy completed! Still having a cold, cold winter. Be happy you're in a warm, secure place, Tank. Even Sox likes to snuggle against my growing belly in this cold.

We had (well, I had) originally planned NOT to find out if you were a boy or a girl, because we didn't have a preference and we wanted the element of surprise. But our genetic test results came back from the lab (you are very low risk for any of the common genetic abnormalities, by the way!), and someone had checked the "find out sex" box - so we found out we're having a little girl.

Your dad was so excited about the news (we found out via emailed lab results) that he was jumping up and down, still dripping wet from the shower, shouting, "We're having a little girl! A little girl!" You are loved and eagerly awaited, little one.
