An ultrasound... and a name!!!

First the name! :)

We've decided to name this little girl Mabry Ruth Spencer! This name goes back at least 4 generations on both sides of the family...

My grandmother's maiden name is Mabry. My great grandparents had two daughters. Then those two daughters each had three girls. Then of those grandkids, most of them were girls. Then here I am, three generations later, pregnant with our fourth daughter. :) My great grandfather's sister had no children and his brother had five girls. So the Mabry name will pass away with that generation. The "all girl" family factor, keeping the name alive some how, and the fact that it makes a stinkin' cute little girls name... we chose Mabry. :)

On the Spencer side (technically the Petsche side... no the Heintschel side :)) Ruth was Jake's great grandmother's first name. And then she gave it to her daughter as a middle name, who named one of her daughters Ruth (Jake's aunt) who then also gave it to her daughter as a middle name. Then Jake's mom almost used it for one of his sisters but took one look at her and said, "No this is Joanna". :) And so now it will be included for one of her grand daughters instead. :)

So today we got one more peek at Mabry Ruth and what a little personality this girl already has! She was squirming and waving and puckering her lips! The ultrasound was done by Kathy at Franklin Women's Center who I've gotten to know better and better over the years. She did every one of my ultrasounds for Emily and Abby and now baby Mabry. She was cracking up and even commented how much this little girl likes to pose! Mabry's heart looked great, that was the real reason for the ultrasound today. They couldn't get a good view last time. Kathy is continuing to look for Ds markers but still has not found any which is great! (But also keeping in mind that we never found any for Abby either :)) She measured lots of bones and fluid and said everything looked just great. And she weighs exactly 1 lb. :)

So here she is again, my beautiful baby...
