Exciting News!

Ryan, Lily and I went to my doctor's office this afternoon for my 20-week ultrasound and check-up (though I am actually 21 weeks now). Most importantly, we were told that our baby looks right on schedule and is healthy; what a blessing. They didn't get a great look at the heart or lower legs, so I get to have another ultrasound at my next check-up. However, we were assured by the technician that she believes everything is just fine; they just like to have more angles to examine. We were also told that we are expecting a baby girl! We are absolutely thrilled that another sweet daughter is on her way. Lily seems very excited that she will have a sister. We plan on naming her Amelia Mary Hooks. Amelia is a name we love, and Mary is in honor of Ryan's grandmother who passed away last March. She was one of the most amazing people we have known and we feel lucky to be able to name our daughter after her.
