Madison Presley Edmonds

Here are a couple of pictures like I promised. These are all from the doctors appointment yesterday. (19 weeks) We ended up with a lot of pictures because sweet Madison was being a bit stubborn and not wanting to move the right way to show us what she was. Jerrad said that she is already taking after her mother!! ;) We were in with the first ultrasound tech for about 30-40 minutes. She took a lot of measurements and then got down to what we were really there for...the gender! The baby was all curled up in a little ball with no plans of moving. The ultrasound tech poked and moved my stomach, made me get up and go use the bathroom and move a little bit and nothing seemed to get the baby moving. After all the time we spent in there she finally sent us to see the doctor and told us we could come back in a week to find out what the baby was! NO! So we asked her very nicely if we could try again after we saw the doctor and she agreed! So we saw the doctor and he said everything looked great and the baby was doing very well. He sent us back to the ultrasound area and this time we tried a new tech and a new room (for luck...I guess)! She tried for about 15 minutes with no luck. Baby was still curled into a little ball with the legs tucked under the body. I finally layed on my side and she pushed and moved enough where she could verify that is was a girl. (Both the ultrasound ladies thought it was a girl! And they were right.)

So we finally know we are having a baby girl...Madison Presley! (Maddie for short)

We go to the doctor again in 4 weeks. Due date is still January 7, 2009. Everyone is making bets on when they think she will arrive. We are going for December 28-30, so we can get the tax break! We'll see....
