Today I am 21 weeks & 4 days
We had our "big" ultrasound today and everything went beautifully! We were so amazed at everything we could see! I'll post the pictures tonight when I get home (need to scan them in).
Our little baby is growing perfectly so far. :) The brain, heart, spine, kidneys, & stomach all look just as they should. Our little bean's growth is measuring right on track for its age. It has ten little fingers and ten little toes and the cutest little nose I've ever seen!
The whole time we were watching our little one on the screen it kept putting its arms above it's head or would play peek-a-boo with us by putting it's hands in front of it's face and then pulling them away....it was soooo cute!!! All that hand waving did make it hard for our tech to get some of the pictures she wanted, but it was so much fun for us to watch!
When we went in the tech asked if we wanted to know the sex and we said no, so she turned our screen off at the beginning so that she could find out just where our little one was situated in there so she would know where to say away from. It was a good thing she did because the very first thing she saw was "the spot" and said had we seen it, we would have known immediately what we were having....I guess it was pretty obvious. I said that it must be a boy then and she said that at this stage if you get a good picture you can tell immediately either way so it didn't necessarily mean she saw a little boy in there. We still think we're having a girl though, so it will definitely be interesting come D-Day!
Anyway, I just wanted to share our good news with you and thank everyone that prayed for this appointment to go well for us! Thanks so much!
I'll post the ultrasound pictures tonight.

I see that Rylan Ann is ahead in the polls, but you have an unhappy Aunt. Oh dear!
If it should be a boy you can still use Rylan, but you'd have to change the middle name. Can't have a boy with the middle name of Ann. Well, you could, but I don't think he would appreciate it. That would sort of be like naming your son "Sue." I'm taking it for granted you're familiar with the song.
So glad for you that everything is going well, Corie. Can't wait for when you can post a picture of the baby "out in the real world." :)
Gayle - Yeah, can you tell she loves the name Leah?!
We could use Rylan for a boy, but we already have a great name for a boy so...we probably won't use it if we do end up having a boy. Thanks for checking in on us!
