Yesterday was our doctor's appointment. I had my first sonosite (ultrasound) with Baby Reynolds' #2. He/She got her first photograph. Marleigh went with me. I wish I would have gotten her reaction on tape because it was priceless. When she saw the baby on the screen, her face lite up. Then, she sort of didn't realize what was going on. She just analyzed the monitor but smiled when she saw the baby moving everywhere. I barely got to see the baby because my doctor was so into showing Marleigh her baby sister or brother. I really appreciated my doctor making Marleigh part of the awesome experience. We only were given one photograph from the sonosite, so I had the woman in the office make a copy of it for Marleigh to take to school to show her friends and teachers. She couldn't wait this morning to take the pic in to school with her. It was precious! When I saw that precious sight on the screen, it put all of my fears to rest. Thank goodness for modern technology. I still pray for the weeks and months to come that the baby grows and is healthy!
Doc. said everything looked great. I go back on October 21st. Four weeks from that appointment, we will have our 2nd ultrasound to find our what the baby will be-boy or girl! My students at school voted and think I am having a girl. We will soon see.
He changed my due date from the 17th of April to the 13th, but he said he wouldn't be surprised if I deliver anytime from March 31st until my due date. Only time will tell.
Anyways, Marleigh's cold is slowly going away. I got some support hose-yes, I know, all I need now is polyester pants and SAS shoes. But my legs feel so much better, so whatever it takes-I'm doing it! Thank goodness, it's getting cooler. My mom went back to the doctor again today, she was put on another antibiotic and has to go get a shot in the morning. Hopefully, that will take care of it.
Thank you for all of your prayers-marleigh's cold, my legs, my mom, and my anxiety of the baby being healthy. I have truly felt them and greatly appreciate them.
I wanted to give a shout out to 2 new friends that left comments on my last post-Beth Greene,friend and Charles Frank, cousin. Thank you guys for checking my blog out. It means a lot knowing that people are reading about Marleigh and the new baby.
Until next time=Live, Laugh, Love

Girl, I got the chills when I saw that precious picture! I'm so happy for you! I can just see Dr. Hart right now all into showing Marliegh! Brady's birthday is March 25th! :-)
Have a great rest of the week!!!
Too cool!!! I hope it is a boy. My vote is boy but if we both had a little girl that would be cool too. I hope one day I get to have another ultrasound for a baby also. Maybe it will be in God's plan, but I can't wait for Lennon to be here. Love you, Congrats!!! rhea
