Our daughter Oct 5, 2006




With this pregnancy, Dr. Cauthen wanted to take precautions, to ensure that if something was wrong we could catch it earlier on. I was to see a specialist as well as my routine ob visits. She sent me to Dr. Allen. It is at his office that I had all my ultrasounds done. Each month that I went they would look and check to see that the baby was developing without any problems. They would check the spine/skull/and brain.

On my appointment for Oct 5th we were going to be able to find out the gender of our baby. I remember Jason was so excited. He had set a plan into action, well I should say that Sherry was the one he put in charge. He wanted our immediate family and friends to be there when the announcement was made we were having a boy/girl.
It was too funny. He was very adamant that he wanted the Great-Grandparents to announce it. So at the office visit we (Jason, I, Sherry & David) watched the ultrasound and was told that the baby was developing fine and when it came to the part to find out-???? Jason said stop he didn't want us to look. He had the ultra-sound tech put the picture in a envelope sealed up. We left the office that day with 2 envelopes in hand.

Everyone was to meet at Wallace BBQ. I know its funny but we all enjoy eating there. Anyhow after everyone arrived and we had placed the orders the time had arrived after all the anticipation. A envelope was given to each set of Great-Grandparents and Sherry went around to get a tally of each person's guess. 14 or so said boy including Jason, I don't remember how many said girl 9 I think, and when she ask me something just said girl.. My best friend Jennifer was sure it was a boy, we had been jokingly calling the baby buster...Well drum roll ------ It's a girl... You should of seen Jason's parents dancing around. I just smiled somehow I just knew.. I can say that it didn't matter to me I just wanted to have a healthy baby this time, but I was glad to be having a daughter.
Here are the pictures of her showing out on the ultrasound
