The Journey to the Hoolihan Peanut: December 2011

The week leading up to finding out what Baby Hoolihan would be took forever, at least we had things to keep us busy in the mean time. The weekend before Daniel, Mom, Bill, Buddy, Chelsea and I all went to Gatlinburg, we all had a blast!Wednesday we had a doctor's appointment to see how everything was going with baby. Everything was great, heartbeat was perfect, more blood drawn, and got in trouble for loosing more weight! Finally Friday had gotten here, I couldn't sleep a wink that night so all I could do was lay in bed and think about how the next day was going to go, then I would pray that God had given us a healthy baby and I told him that I was laying my selfishness out of the way and knew that he had given Daniel and I what he knew we needed in our lives. 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 17, 2011 had finally arrived, Daniel and I were up and getting ready to leave. First we went an ate at Waffle House, which I could hardly eat anything because of my nerves. We pulled in the parking lot of Precious View in Bowling Green, Ky at 10:15 a.m. we walked in and fill out all the paperwork. The time had came for us to find out. She was getting ready to start and I had told her that I wanted to know if it had 10 fingers, 10 toes and most importantly that it was healthy, then she could tell me what it was. She began the ultrasound by letting us hear it's heartbeat and then she started moving it around and BAM there was Mr Rylan Kent Hoolihan's legs in the air so we could clearly see his manhood! There was no shame in his game! I told her well guess he wanted mommy to know who he was right off the bat! I began to cry as we watched our little man! I looked over at Daniel and he was beaming from ear to ear =) Our little guy was very wild at the beginning and had fallen asleep by the end. Words can not describe how blessed Daniel and I are to have found out that our little miracle baby was a boy and most importantly that he was perfect! I love him more than anything in this world and would give my life for him already! Once we had left I called my mom and she immediately said it's a boy I can tell by your voice! My Daddy was the next phone call, followed by my Granny Moma and on to let friends and the rest of the family know! From there Daniel and I went to Babies R Us to register for our little man. We bought him 2 sleepers that we will take to the hospital for Rylan to sleep in while we're there. Then we went to Daniel's sisters to let his family know what we were having! Daniel handed his daddy the ultrasound pictures with the top one being his manhood! They were so excited for us! Now the Hoolihan name will be carried on, what other way to make a father more proud! We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers for us up until this point! We couldn't be more blessed to have each and every one of you in our lives! Mr Rylan Kent Hoolihan is so lucky to have you too! We go back to the doctor on January 10 for my dr's ultrasound!! So we get to see our little man again!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Merry Christmas and a very blessed New Year!!
