Ryan Lily Ferguson
There are many reasons we have chosen this name. Ryan is Bill's middle name and I have ALWAYS wanted to name my baby girl Ryan, another reason why Bill is perfect for me! Since we do think Ryan is a bit more of a masculine girl name, we really wanted to soften it up with Lily. There is nothing more precious in the world that a beautiful lily.
As some of you may know, our last ultrasound visit was extremely unpleasant; well this one was worse. Keep in mind, it was not because of me, it was because of the HORRIBLE ultrasound technician. As soon as I walked in the room I apologized for my behavior the last time I was there. I fell all over myself saying how I got upset and once I opened the flood gates, I could not stop. How I appreciated what she did and I was so sorry. Well, her response was,
"Why are you here 2 weeks later instead of 4 weeks later?" I told her this was when my doctor scheduled me to come back in.
She said, "Well, I am not going to poke and prod around on your forever, after the way you acted last time with your Oscar winning performance. I swear everyone in this office thought something was wrong with your baby, they were all talking about it."
I said, "Yes I know everyone was talking about it, I could hear them." By this point I was lying on the table and ready for her to shut her mouth and give me my ultrasound, but I was on my best behavior and let this woman talk to me just however she wanted to. I mean it was almost comical about how much of a butthole she was being to me. I looked at Bill once and we were both almost laughing, just biting our lips. Once she began the ultrasound she said,
"Well, you should have waited a month because this baby is in the same exact position."
I said, "Well that's okay, if we can't find out then we can't find out." I really did feel this way, Bill and I had a long conversation about this, and I was totally cool if we could not tell again.
She said, "Well wait a minute." Then she continued to shove the heck out of the right side of my stomach, she pushed three buttons on her machine and said, "Well, it's a girl congratulations." By this time she had already wiped the jelly off of my stomach and was handing Bill the picture. We were literally pushed out of the room. The total time spent in the ultrasound room was 4 minutes- insane!!!
So, Bill and I, in response to her ridiculous attitude, acted extremely excited. We were not going to let this bitter woman ruin our awesome day. As she was basically pushing us out the door she said, " I hope you know this is not the most important thing, I usually have to search for heartbeats. Be glad you have a healthy baby, so I hope this helps!" I mean totally uncalled for, we could not believe it. But then again we were not really paying attention to her either, she was just background noise at that point.
For those of you who think I am exaggerating, Bill has approved this story!! Also, Bill was seconds away from telling this woman to back off of me. He was so mad because he saw how hard it was for me to apologize to the old nag, and then she just kept saying things that were more and more unprofessional!
Anyways, I can't wait to tell Ryan about the memorable day that her mommy and daddy found our they were having a precious little girl.

YAY!!! A GIRL!!!!!!!!!
I'm eager to hear how she will be the next time you guys are in there. If she's like that again, you should really consider asking for another tech.
I'm so excited for you guys! Girls are so much fun and I love her name! Congratulations!
Hey Jenny! Congratulations!! I don't know if you will remember me, but we had a class together at Auburn. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say hi! And... I LOVE her name! I love little girls with typical "boy" names. So cute!!
Ok so you don't know me at all, but I stumbled upon your blog. It's so cute, and congratulations on having a baby girl! I am SHOCKED and so mad at that mean lady. Have you reported her? I would tell your doctor and make sure she is written up. That is AWFUL! No one should say such things to patients no matter what! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. I would get a new tech!!! Good luck!
