Just To Be Clear


Yes, we had our ultrasound today.

No, we did not find out the sex of the baby. Never have, never will.

Yes, Ashlyn is 100% certain, without a doubt, that the baby is a girl.

No, we haven't decided on any names.

Yes, Ashlyn has decided on a name for us, "Marshmallow Heart"- inspired by these:


No, I don't think we are going to go with that choice...maybe if we lived in Hollywood.

Yes, we showed the ultrasound pictures to our kids. Ashlyn's response? "She is so ugly!" "Is she going to be black and white?"

No, the baby won't be black and white, although I can see how the picture is deceiving.

Yes, the baby is healthy, and that is all that really matters.

That is hilarious - Ashlyn made me laugh out loud! I'm so happy your little one is healthy! He/She looks darling already! I hope everything is going well with your pregnancy!

Hello! said...

I'm gonna go with Ashbelle on this... Marshmellow Hearts Smiley sounds good to me. What did Trent think?

Ashley Rae said...

Oh- and I'm glad the baby is healthy!!

Sandy, I don't think Trent really understands yet what is going to happen in four months. He will pat my belly and give the baby "hugs", but I'm not sure how he is going to react when it is born. And when we showed him the ultrasound picture, he was pretty uninterested.

Ashlyn cracks me up, that kid. I am so glad that you record some of her cute comments on the blog. It's easy to forget what they say. I am glad the baby is healthy.

I have a question: be honest. Did you TRY to figure out the sex based on the ultrasound photos? Not that I could figure that out - but you might, you are smart.
Congrats. It's always exciting!

Smiley Family said...

Sorry Jen, I didn't. I really, truly, honestly do not want to know until that baby is born! I told the tech to not even go "down there," and she didn't!

Renee said...

I love sonogram pictures! Congrats...& I think it's rad that you wait to find out.

Princess said...

If the baby IS born black and white, we may be able to sue the Marshmellow Peeps Company. What happened to Annie?

Erica said...

Yay for babies! So glad that she is healthy, or he. :o) I'm craving Marshmallow Peeps now...THANKS!

Esther said...

you could shorten marshmellow heart to just heart...or mellow...or marsh...

Mary said...
