Tough Limit

Can anyone suggest how I can use Mathematica to get the following limit:

limit ( Binomial [-1/2  ,n ] * Sqrt[ n* Pi ] ) as n-> Infinity

I have tried both Calculus`Limit` and the standard Limit functions. I can
verify with NLimit that this limit equals  approximately 1. I don't think that
this is rigorous enough for a proof.

Thanks
James
