Officially Taking Suggestions!!!

I have debated about whether or not I should do this for a while - I don't want anyone to be upset with me if I don't take your suggestions - but I have come to the point of needing help naming this little girl! So I am taking officially asking for name suggestions. Shanna did it, and it seemed to work, because she has a name now! Here are the middle names we like so maybe you can help with a first - Paige, Kate, Kay (my old middle name), and Grace. I LOVE the middle name Grace. I am open to other middle name suggestions too. Let the names begin! Ha ha.

Baby Registry - Check!!!

Yesterday we braved BabysRus. With Dawn's help, and we could NOT have done it without her, we completed our registry to the best of our ability!! All of your comments and suggestions on brands helped tremendously too! The good news is we can make changes to it as we go. Wes got a little "gun" happy with some things, so if you check out the registry and think, wait, isn't that kind of like such and such, just know that it wasn't me!! J/K Wes, you know I love you....

So it is done. And it's one more thing to check off the list. Furniture was not included, so that is the next big thing, but I refuse to pay full price for a crib and changing table, so I am on the deal hunt for those! Here are some pics...We had Keaton and Gentry with us - I don't know how I DIDN'T get a picture of Gentry, but Keaton was good to have because we demo'd products using him!!

And Misty, this picture is for you my dear.....Don't ask me how I still have three full months for this belly to get bigger!!

24 Week Appointment!

We just had our 24 week appointment this afternoon, and everything went great. She had a strong heartbeat, and Dr. Barney said she was probably still breach judging on where I was feeling her kick (my lower left side). He said at this point a lot of babies are still breach, but about 95% turn around on their own. He said if she is still breach at 32 weeks he would try to turn her then. So the next appointment is the dreaded sugar test, or so I have heard. Maybe it's not as bad as some people say. I just hope it doesn't make me sick or anything. Any suggestions on that would be helpful! I plan on bringing something to eat immediately after, and the appointment is in the morning. We also talked about the childbirth class, and I am not quite sure if I want to do that or not. Dr. Barney said it was good because they do a tour of the hospital, and if you don't already know all your options you learn about them there, but he also said it wasn't something he thought we had to go to, especially if I do a lot of reading about things. So thoughts on that would be helpful too. He also said we could take a tour of the hospital anytime without doing the class, which I definitely want to do. The doctor's office is in the hospital by the way, right across the hall basically from the maternity ward. Oh, and I had gained 7 lbs since my last appointment, 4 weeks ago! I knew I had gained a little, but didn't think it would be that much. He wasn't concerned though, thankfully! The last time I weighed this much was when I gained the freshman 15 in college! Well, I think that's about it! We are very thankful, once again, that our little girl seems to be doing good! I am feeling amazing too. I actually have more energy now than I did before I was pregnant, so I am loving it!

Baby Bedding!

As of Monday, I have exactly four months to my due date, so I started thinking of all the things we need to accomplish, and since I am feeling great now I thought I better get some stuff done! So first of all, I picked out the bedding and theme for our little girls nursery, and registered for it at Pottery Barn Kids. It's called Pink Daisy Garden. I LOVE it! With this set, we will definitely go with the white crib and changing table, which I am hoping to find at a great sale somewhere. So next on the list is to register at BabysRUs. My goal is to do that before the end of January. Here is the link to the bedding....isn't it adorable??!!

And for all you Moms, I would love advice on what to register for, what brands you like, etc, so please don't hesitate to share with me!
