Our Little Girl!

We had our 20 wk ultra sound today and it couldn't have been more fun. It is for sure a girl and she was moving all over the place. She definitely already has her own personality and was NOT willing to cooperate with the nurse very well. She was curled up facing my spine at the beginning and did NOT want to roll over so we could see her profile. It took shaking my belly (giving her an earthquake as it looked on the screen), then me rolling on my side to get her to roll over. Once she finally did, she wouldn't stop sucking her thumb so we could get a good profile. I already knew she was an evening baby because I never feel movement until then, so it was obvious she wasn't happy with us waking her up this morning!:) Mike and Laurie were there with us, so that was very fun to share it with them. Mike asked the nurse if she had brown or blond hair, and the nurse looking at Ryan and then I said she had NO clue:) I guess we will find out soon enough. It was truly wonderful an amazing experience to see her and feel closer with her. We can't wait till she joins us! If you look in the picture you can see her two little hands up against the sides of her head. For those of you who haven't heard her name is Lorilyn Morgan Stoianowski. She is named after her Grandma Jigs (Laurie) (we are spelling it Lori though), her Grandma Bird (Marilyn) and her aunt Lynette (Lyn). I combined them together and loved it!


Here is a picture of my growing belly. I really am expanding by the day!
