Drum roll please...


Well, looks like we're going to be seeing a lot of pink! (Although we're really not fans of pink, so we're hoping to stick to green and yellow!)

Little baby Lando is a little baby girl! We are very excited to add a little Schielke girl to the clan.

Our niece, Sarah, is very excited that she will get to play with another girl in the family, too.

And Ben said he is already cleaning his gun to get ready for boyfriends.

Attached are the latest ultrasound pictures. First one is Lando sucking her thumb. Second is Lando throwing her arms and hands around and you can really see the skeleton of her hand. And third picture is of her cute little foot.

During the ultrasound, they told us that she was very comfortable laying vertically with her feet up towards my chest with her head down like she is ready to be born right now! That's my little overachiever.

Our baby is perfect, I knew it

Today we got back our test results for trisomy 18/downs syndrome/neural tube defects. Drum roll please...

Baby Lando passed everything with flying colors!

In fact, for my age group, I would normally have a 1 in 760 chance of downs syndrome, but apparently we tested much better - our risk is 1 in 20,000. The nurse said, "you never see numbers like that. Can't get it any better." Awesome! Ben and I produce supreme beings!

So Lando just passed his/her first test. It will be the first of many, many more to come in Lando's life. :)

Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter in Lando's 9 month journey...mark your calendars for November 18, the day we find out if it's a little Ben or a little Katie!
