Up Close and Personal

Hello, Ms. Riley! Yes, we will see you soon!
Where will technology take us next??? Yesterday, we had our 3D Sonogram done of Ms. Riley. I invited my Mom and Mother-in-Law along so that they could witness the experience of modern technology when it comes to the gestational world. My Mother-in-Law ended up with the stomach flu and was not able to attend, but my Mom got to witness how incredibly awesome it was!

Like with Tyler, Ms. Riley was ever so uncooperative and would not part with her right arm. Her right hand was in her face 99% of the duration of the scan, but we were still able to get some really great shots of her. The tech kept having to pat my belly and give little nudges to try and get her to move her arm, but it would end up right back where she liked it, against her face. She was moving a ton, just not moving that arm out of the way. I think I rolled from my back to my side to my back 4 different times. In the end, it worked for the most part and we were able to say hello to our little Riley Girl. We concluded that she has the same facial features as Tyler did and she DOES have hair, so I think we're all in agreement that she is going to be the female version of Tyler. I am ecstatic about the fact that she has hair because I already have a basket full of hair bows & headbands and more are being shipped to me as we speak (shhhhh...don't tell David!)
Yawning!
Eyes Open!
Smiling! It was really incredible to be able to watch our little girl (and yes, we did confirm yet again that there is a hamburger and no hot dog) on the screen yawning, rubbing her eyes, opening her eyes and even smiling. As I've said before, we had the same sonogram done with Tyler, but the miracle of new life never gets old and I would be just as intrigued if this were our 8th child. Now, more so than before, I CANNOT wait to meet her. CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE 3D PICTURES Only 11 more weeks (or less) to go until we get to see her face to face! And so it goes...
