We're having a ......


Baby GIRL!


Here are pictures from my ultrasound today. Baby is healthy and has a strong heartbeat. Stanford wasn't able to make it to the ultrasound due to a work meeting that had come up at last minute. He didn't want to know what we were having until tonight so I made dinner - pasta with alfredo sause that I dyed pink, corn and french bread. I also had pink punch to drink. For dessert we had strawberry ice-cream and pink sugar cookies. I took lots of pictures but I can't get them to download at the moment so you'll have to wait for those. Oh, and I had a poem waiting for him before he ate. It read:

Ten Little Fingers, Ten Little Toes
Boy or Girl, you do not know
Trains and Trucks or Ribbons and Bows
A clue I'm sure you'd like to know

Not lots of blue or green or red
Will be found piled upon the baby's bed
But purple, white & lots of pink
We soon will find all over the sink.

The poem is a bit cheesy but my sister found it online and it was better than anything I would have come up with. She also gave me the food ideas. Now Stanford is making up songs while he's doing all the dishes (which I had to pull teeth to even get him to do). I wish I had a video camera to record his little songs...all about how life's not easy doing the dishes .... it makes me laugh!

    Also, you are so cute to break the news to Stanford with pink dinner and a poem. I love that. One of these pregnancies I would love to have a surprise baby. Maybe next time. Love you!

  11. YEA!!!! I loved seeing each and every one of those pictures. For some reason I just see the baby so well in ultrasounds. I can tell what I am looking at. I love it. I am glad the dinner and dessert went well and I can just hear Stanford making up songs right now. It is making me smile and laugh too. I love you both! And am so excited for this new baby :) I just cannot wait to meet her. (And know that I am already coming up with fun thing to make her :) )

  13. The name will be (in my mind and still needs to be convinced in Stanfords): Maggie Lynn Richins. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it? And Maggie is after my Great G-ma Torgerson and Lynn after my middle name.

  14. Congrats, you win: best daughter. I know Tasha has three (and they're cute) but you make up for that by having a girl!!!! I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well, I'm glad that she looked good on the ultrasound, that is always a HUGE relief for me.

    Thank you so much for your sweet birthday card. It brought a tear to my eye as you have such a beautiful gift with words. Thank you for being such a loving support in my life and I am so happy that you feel the same about me. I am always here for you!
