Ultrasound Pictures

July 1st, 2008... We're pregnant! This was a very emotional day, mainly because it was so unexpected. Looking back now, there are no regrets.


Here is Ashlyn's very first picture! Matt and I went to the Hope Clinic for Women when I was 8 weeks pregnant for an ultrasound before we even went to the OB. I remember he cried as soon as we saw her on the screen. She is the "thing" on the left and the yolk sack is on the right. Apparently, the baby feeds off of it before the placenta is developed.


This is just a little something I made after we had the "real" ultrasound at my OB's office.


Here she is at 12 weeks. I was so excited when I first saw her on the screen. She was dancing around and Matt and I both got the feeling she was a boy. So, we began picking out boy names... a few weeks later, we found out she was a girl!


Here are her little frog legs at 12 weeks. Ribbit, Ribbit!

This is from the ultrasound when we found out she was a girl. I was 21 weeks pregnant and had not felt her move yet. About a week after the ultrasound, I finally felt a little flutter... It was so strange, but amazing!


It's official... It's a girl! I thought I would be more emotional than I was when we found out, but I surprised myself. Time to pick out a girl's name!


Skeleton Girl! Here she is at 25 weeks.


These are from the most recent ultrasound (35 weeks), and hopefully the last one I'll have. I absolutely love this picture because you can see her so well. I'm so excited and cannot wait to meet her!


This is the exact same picture as the one above, but it is flipped around. When the ultrasound tech handed Matt the photo, he had it turned this way and started to melt. He seriously thought our baby looked like an old witch woman. The lady turned it around for him and he fell in love!


During the same visit, the tech snuck in a little 3D image of Ashlyn. She had her hands over her face, so we weren't able to see her that well. We did get a good picture of her little foot though!

Welcome to Ashlyn's page!

Hi everyone! Thanks for coming to see our little girl's page. I wanted to set this site up for family and friends to view pictures and updates of Ashlyn's life after she finally gets here! I plan on updating it weekly, maybe daily, depending on how many pictures I take... which knowing myself, will be tons! Right now, we are patiently waiting on our baby girl's arrival. She is expected to be here March 2nd, 2009. This will be my first child, and Matt's second daughter. He is super excited as if he was becoming a first time parent. We absolutely cannot wait! I'm going to post all of her ultrasound pictures up until now. Be sure to check back often for updates, pictures, and maybe some videos. Wish us lots of luck and keep us in your prayers!
