About Me

My photo
In my 28 years of existence there is one thing that always holds true. God is God. Plain and simple; God is God. His word contains immeasureable truths that have always been and always will be. And while I may not know where I'm going in life and what I will be doing; God knows. And ultimately, that's all I need to know. That is all I need to trust.

Lillianna (LeeLou) Smith...It's a girl!!!

I say LeeLou in parenthesis because we are still not 100% settled on the middle name... Well, I am. But I guess Smitty is still up for change if he finds something he absolutely loves and will be willing to fight me about it! :) And where did we come up with this strange name, you ask... Lillianna LeeLou Smith... Well we both loved Lillianna as soon as we heard it but we weren't sure about a middle name. Someone on facebook suggested we use one of our moms' middle names and see if we liked that. Somehow we ended up saying them both back to back, his mom's middle name being Lee and my mom's middle name being Lou and really liked the way it sounded! So it just kind of stuck. And now the more I hear it and say it, the more I love it!!! Besides, with a plain last name we can get away with a rare name like Lillianna LeeLou Smith, don't you think???

Here are the pictures from our last ultrasound! Enjoy!



This is the picture that says she's a girl...

This is a sideways shot of her. Her head is to the right and the white line along the top is her spine!

These are some 3D shots of her back... She was facing my spine the entire time and we could not get her to flip over so we could see her beautiful face at all...



In this one, you can see her left arm bending back up toward her face, like she's sucking her thumb I like to think. :)

This is another sideways shot of her spine.

This is her little foot!!! Toes and all!!! How cute is that!?!?!?!

This is her leg and her foot right where the arrow is.
This is a 3D of her spine. They like to see that the spine tapers together at the bottom. If it was still opened at the bottom it would have been indicative of a disability.

Her spine and ribcage!

Another sideways shot... If you can see the dark circle within her body to the left of the ultrasound, that is her bladder. This shows that the bladder is filling up normally meaning that her kidneys are functioning well!

And a non 3D of the spine tapering together to the left.



Our beautiful and amazing Lillianna! Can't wait for you all to be able to actually meet her!!! Well, and us too... I REALLY WANT TO MEET HER!
Guess July 2nd can't come fast enough for me!
