Happy Birthday Ashlyn!!

Happy Birthday Ashlyn!
Two Years Old!!
The time goes by way too quickly.

How we announced you were expected . . . the numbers correspond to which grandchild they are in the Merrill-side line up.

3-D Ultrasound . . . it's a girl!  Like I didn't already know. 
They wanted me to get an amnio, but I didn't want to do such invasive tests, so we opted to visit a perinatologist for the fun 3-D video.  

March 31st . . . 4 days past the due date (and practically falling out she was so low!). . . we hurried and got scheduled for a partial induction so she wouldn't be born on April 1st!  It was a good thing, too because as soon as my water broke, she didn't want to wait for the doctor.  If we were still at home, it would have been a home birth!  Definitely the fastest and easiest birth of them all.
Cute and tiny feet that were always flexed.

Precious baby girl!
Growing into a fun, enthusiastic, happy, strong-willed, feisty, wild, loud, demanding, smart and darling little girl.
Ashlyn is a joy!
