Adam and I are approaching the 2 year "anniversary" of becoming parents. I will let my pictures tell you the story...
I like to say it all started in Indian Shores, FL, but really, it all started when two people fell in love and decided to get married.

The soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs.
Saying our "I do's" and making it official.06/07/08
You may kiss your bride!
The first day of our new beginning! Mr. & Mrs. Gilreath
September 2008Little did we know that this is where it became "All About Scout"! During our vacation to Indian Shores, FL, we got pregnant. Yes, we were trying and YES we knew the timing was perfect! ;-)
Nearly 4 weeks later, and "knowing" that I felt different, we got the answer we were hoping for! 10/05/08
The excited parents-to-be.
10/10/08
This is how we told my mom the good news. We went to Outback Steakhouse to celebrate her 49th birthday. We brought in this cookie cake to tell her the good news, her best birthday present, EVER! She screamed, literally, with excitement!
Of course, the waiter thought it would be funny to change moms age to 94.
10/11/08
At the Susan G. Komen's Knoxville Race for the Cure
This is how we told my dad and step mom, Lisa. Adam took the picture of me holding the pregnancy test and added the words "Help This Mommy-To-Be Support Breast Cancer Awareness". They didn't really notice, I had to point it out. I've never seen my dad light up like he did that morning.

After my baby shower at Adam's work. This is in the nursery. My dad was in the process of painting it.
31 weeks 3 days
Easter Sunday, showing off my dads talent. He did an amazing job painting Scout's nursery.
33 weeks 5 days

My maternity photo shoot at Studio 102
34 weeks 3 days
Anxiously awaiting our baby girls arrival.
34 weeks 3 days
My absolute favorite maternity shot. Randy asked me to just stand there and think about my angel and my mind was flooded with so many emotions. I'll never forget that moment!
34 weeks 3 days
Mama angel, pregnant with a baby angel. You'll see Scout's angel wing shot on down the page.
The Creation of a Beautiful Life
7 weeks
The first glimpse of our angel. The emotions you feel when you heart your baby's heart beat for the very first time is the most amazing thing. How can someone deny God's creation?
9 weeks 6 days
Isn't it amazing how much your baby changes in just 2 weeks 6 days in utero.
12 weeks
My little pea in a pod.
12 weeks
A profile shot of my little pea in a pod.
16 weeks 6 days
You can already see formation of her beautiful face.
16 weeks 6 days
We were told we were having a GIRL! As you can see, it's hard to believe. I wasn't convinced! You can see her head turned to the side towards the back.
20 weeks 6 days
I had the ultrasound tech check the sex again. She's definitely a girl! It was a good thing, because Nana had already loaded us down with lots of girly clothes!
20 weeks 6 days
This was one of my favorite ultrasound images of Scout. Look at that perfect little body at just half way through her gestation.
20 weeks 6 days
Such a beautiful profile!
23 weeks 1 day
I thought it couldn't hurt to check the sex EVERY TIME! Yep, we're still having a girl! :)
23 weeks 1 day
Scout hiding her face with her arms and hand.
23 weeks 1 day
The back side of Scout. Look at her ribs! I love getting 3D shots of my baby at every visit!
23 weeks 1 day
Another face shot! I've been in love with that sweet, little face before I ever saw it!
23 weeks 1 day
Another face shot. It looks like she's popping her neck! Ha!
25 weeks 2 days
Another face/profile shot
28 weeks
Scout is getting bigger, therefore, the 3D images aren't as good. She didn't have as much room to move around.
29 weeks 2 days
Adam bought me a package to go to Focused Within to have 3D/4D ultrasound done. Honestly, I thought they would be better than what my OB offered, but they really weren't. It was still a nice experience. All of the grandparents gathered as they watched their grand baby move around in my belly.
29 weeks 2 days
Still in slight denial, I also had them check the sex. She's still a GIRL!
29 weeks 2 days
My angels head leaning back.
29 weeks 2 days
Face, arm, and very long fingers!
30 weeks 2 days
View of face, but looks a little distorted. You can see the definition of her lips.
32 weeks 5 days
Hand on face, she's already a drama queen!
34 weeks
Again, the hand is on her face. She still sleeps like this!
34 weeks
I asked for yet, another "pee pee" shot. Yes, she's DEFINITELY A GIRL! After this good 3D shot, I was finally convinced and at ease. I had 6 weeks to go and could finally stop worrying about the gender.
36 weeks
She's still hiding behind her hand, but you can see a smile out of the corner of her mouth. :)
36 weeks
Scout's last picture taken in utero. We'll see you soon!

I was induced that night.
On 06/01/10 at 8:10pm, Scout Raylea Gilreath was born into this world.
6lbs 4oz 20in
My first time holding Scout. This was during our "bonding" time with her before the rest of the family met her. At this point, she was still unnamed.
This was just after everyone came in to meet Miss Scout Raylea.
I'm In Love!
