Tears

I've cried lots of happy tears today! First of all, the ultrasound of baby Ryleigh was amazing! They not only did the traditional ultrasound, they did a 4-D as well!! WOW!! I could see all the hairs on Ryleigh's head!! She's got lots of fuzzy hair! lol A button nose, CHUBBY cheeks and her lips were parted as she tried to put her fist in her mouth. Her eyes were closed. I saw her HEART!! It's teeny tiny and I saw it just a-pumping away! It was AMAZING!! I got a perfect view of the bottom of one of her feet...I could see all her toes! I saw her leg bones clearly, her fingers, etc. Oh my goodness. What a miracle! In one pose, she had her fingers on her check as she rested her chin in her hand like she was really bored! lol
She moved around a lot. She's already turned down so that her head is in Meranda's pelvic area. It won't be long now!!! Ryleigh weighs 5 pounds and 15 ounces!

Then, Meranda, her mom Kim and I went to my lawyer's office. That went really, really well! Meranda made her desires known concerning her hospital stay, etc. She signed an Intent to Adopt, etc.

I reassured Meranda that I would send pictures and updates at least twice a year, as long as she wanted them. I told her that Ryleigh would grow up knowing what a good person Meranda is and that Meranda truly does love her and wants a good life for her, etc. and how self-less and brave Meranda is. And, I cried. The attorney was teary eyed. Kim cried. Meranda was teary-eyed as well. It was just a good thing. =)
