There is someone we would like you to meet...

So as most of you know by now Ashley is pregnant. Yes I know she finally broke me down. Depending on who you ask she is 12-13 weeks along (the Dr. says 12 but Ashley says 13). Anyway we had our first ultra-sound yesterday and it was really cool. It was at the Provo Hospital (the old building Mom so I guess your old stomping grounds).

We walked into the room and the lights were off except for two soft mood lights. The T.V. was on and I instantly made a joke about how we needed some Marvin Gaye playing softly in the background and some candles, and I got NOTHING from the Nurse... I don't even think she looked at me. So the boring, dry nurse started the ultra-sound and was just cruising along doing her thing taking weird measurements of Ashley's insides. I then made a joke about how I thought I saw the cheeseburger Ashley had for lunch, and again NOTHING!!! I mean I don't consider myself Chris Rock or anything but COMMON ON!

So after the robot nurse finished everything she needed, she then started to focus on the baby. That's when it got serious, because the possibility of Ashley being one of those women who wants a baby so bad that they force their body to create all the signs of being pregnant went out the door.

But it was way cool because we got to see some really good shots of the baby. And he/she is quiet active! It was bouncing around, kicking its legs, moving its arms, and I think I even saw a few dance moves in there. The nurse then started to get these weird views which made us see the babies skeleton and I made a comment of how our baby looked like a cyborg T2000 from Terminator after its face melted off and again NOTHING!! So that was my last attempt.


So she took a couple snap shots of the baby and printed them out for us and this is what we got to take home.





Afterwords the the Dr. came in and she was awesome. She was sarcastic, witty, and cracking jokes, so I really liked her. We also get to do a super tech ultra sound at week 20 so we should have some more cool pictures to post then. And that is when we get to find out what we are having!

I have added a new question to our blog. Please fill that out so we can see what everyone thinks we will have.

So far Ashley as been feeling pretty good and hasn't been crazy sick so that is really good. Although she sleeps like every second she isn't at work I think. But other than that we are doing great and really excited to have a Ryan Jr. soon.

Feel free to leave us comments!

Really? Ryan Jr.? We are hoping for a boy too, but at least give him a decent name. Congratulations!

I AM SOOOOOO excited for you guys. That is a great ultrasound picture! Sorry your jokes were lost on the nurse, but I am glad to hear that the Dr. came through for you.

Dude if that is your best material, then just keep your mouth shut when you come to California. Your best line was "robot nurse"...Only because it reminded me of Arrested Development when Gob calls Michael a robot. Anywho, congrats on the baby and we'll see you soon.

Whit and Steve said...

YAYAY! Congrats you two!! I'm so excited for you both. I'm glad Ashley has been feeling well and I can't wait to find out what you're having! Good Luck with everything.

Hey, ill give you some props, i laughed out loud at the cheeseburger comment...looks like a very good looking baby!!!I cannot wait to find out what it is...im very excited and glad everything is going well. I however am disappointed that you did not wear a wife beater and gym shorts to this appointment with a tattoo on your back side stating,"Live to Ride, Ride to Live." Love you guys, Auntie Kels

I think that your nurse was deaf! Either that or it was her first time doing an ultra sound and she really had to concentrate. Whatever, HER LOSS-- OUR GAIN! You had me cracking up!
By the way Ryan Jr. is the spitting image of his dad:) Love you guys

Yeah!!! We heard awhile go and were so excite for you! It doesn't matter what you have... he/she will be cute either way and both are fun!!

Oh my gosh this is sooooo exciting!!!! I am so happy for you guys. Seeing the ultrasound for the first time is such an amazing experience. I cannot wait to find out if you are having a boy or a girl!!!
By the way, Ashley is smart to get lots of rest now!! That is our best advice- sleep all you can before the little bundle of joy arrives, because after the baby comes, sleep goes out the window!!
We love you guys!!
