Last week we got our ultrasound and the baby wasn't cooperating. Ashley drank pop and the baby was being fairly active but her legs were crossed the whole time no matter how much she moved around. I guess she's a little camera shy and who could blame her, if some stranger was trying to look at your goodies you would be too. However we got a bonus photo shoot because our OB saw signs of placenta previa and referred us to a specialist for a precaution. This was good because the not only did the specialist think the placenta was OK we got a 4D ultrasound which was awesome but at the same time the pictures make our little fetus look like a goblin. Our baby had a little fluid in her left kidney which could be indicative of some kind of problem so they're going to keep an eye on it when Ashley goes back in 4 weeks and we'll get another one. WOOT WOOT! We're so lucky we have friends way further along in their pregnancies with only one or two ultrasounds and we've already had five and more are on the way! So what Ashley's had to puke 100 times for each of them but too me its worth it although I would probably say Ashley would rather just not be barfing all the time. I am trying to deter the baby from making my poor wife throw up all the time by yelling out threats about painting her back porch red the minute she bursts forth into this world but she never listens to me. Any ideas on disciplining your unborn children? 
This is out baby girl waving at me I think she said "Hi Dad" but I'm not very good at reading lips.
This is my baby girl getting ready to 'bust out of this mother'
This is my baby girl giving herself one thumb up (and an arm, her comprehension is a little low) on her cannonball form
This is our girl doing a nice profile shot its more like one of those civil war photo poses notice the the sweet mustache isn't she so patriotic.
not to be confused with propaganda pictures of socialist dictators.
So now while we're waiting for our baby to cook and get a little cuter we have to find a good name. My criteria is I have to be able to use it when I'm happy and mad and it has to be fitting longer than toddler hood (which exclude 90% of Ashley's names)

YAY BABY GIRL!!!! I like the 4D ultrasound!
Congrats. Baby girls with mustaches are the cutest. Well cuter than adult women with mustaches anyway. I bet your parents are so excited. And Uncle Lukey will be so excited too, he's a sucker for watching those Barbie movies and playing Disney princesses with Summer (although they do fight over toys sometimes). Yay for girls :)
SO EXCITED for you !!! Congrats!Ashley hope this being sick business is over soon - that is so not fun!
Love Aunt Jan
2 Granddaughters next spring! Watch out world; we're so excited! Certainly more fun shopping now for baby things! Take care of your wife and your daughter-to-be. Those 4D pictures are incredible! Congratulations! And thanks for sharing!!
Ok, those 4D pictures are AMAZING! I love the one of her cute little legs...I'm so excited for you guys. And also so excited to have a sweet neice!
Well congratulations on having a baby girl! It must be exciting to know! Those ultrasound images are pretty sweet!
congrats!!! a baby girl!!! oh ashley you're gonna love having a girl to dress up:) sorry about all the vomit! hang in there...it really is worth it:)
Congrats Ash! I'm so excited for you to have a girl - hows it going? You feeling any better?
oh a girl! yaaaay! having a boy is the shiz, but I have to admit girl baby stuff is about a jillion times better (and easier to come by). I want a girl for the sole purpose of all the girly stuff... what fun! Sorry you're still a sickie- I bet you LOVE it when people say, "oh you're out of the first trimester, you must be feeling better now, right?" I used to want to punch people in the face for things like that.
btw, i say you get to name this chica whatever the h you want. That's your reward for being sick for so long (one of them anyway!).
I love the tittle. Congrats.
YAY!! Congratulations!! Look out Brandon, you're going to be outnumbered in your house ;)
Woohoo! We are so excited! You forgot to mention though, that the name also had to be a good twinner name to go with ours. If we can't think of anything better than Thelma and Louise, then I guess that will have to be it.
