It's been too long...

Ok, so I guess I'm the worst blogger ever! I know it's been THREE weeks since I blogged last. And I know you are dying to see pics of the last ultrasound (or at least you better be)! Be prepared, because this will seem like a never ending post :) Things have been very busy lately. The baby is starting to kick a lot more at night and I can even feel her move some during the day. I'm kind of jealous because some of my others friends can feel their babies move a lot more than I can. I know everyone is different, I just can't wait for Grady to be able to experience feeling her move. Later on, I'll probably be wishing she would be still!

I'm sure you are wondering (if you don't already know) what we have decided to name our sweet baby girl! Drum roll please....ok, it's not that dramatic I guess. We have decided to name her Carleigh Anne. If you hate it, don't tell me because I don't care :) We love the name and think it will be perfect! This little girl is going to be so spoiled! Especially by her Nana, who after three grandsons, is definitely ready for a granddaughter. Get ready Nana!

Now onto pictures! I'll start with the ultrasound pics. These are all from 18 weeks. I'm 21 weeks now, so it's been a little bit.

Ok, it looks a little scary with the bones and all that showing, but I think it's kind of neat!


Look at those sweet feet :-)



Yay! It's a girl!! And I cried when I found out! We were so excited!



Now onto the belly pics. I should have posted some of these a while back, but you know how it is. I promise I'll do better!


14 weeks

21 weeks (taken tonight)




Wow...I'm getting huge! I feel like I'm so much bigger than I look. My friend Casey at work took some really good pics of my belly. I forgot to get them off my computer at work, but I will tomorow and I'll post them this weekend. They are a lot better than these!

I think I have FINALLY picked out the baby bedding that I want!! I have gone through so many "favorites" lately, it's unreal. Look at the pic below and let me know what you think. I think it's so stinkin' cute! I want to paint the bedroom light green, although light purple has also been a choice too. Which do you think?


And here is the cute little mobile that goes with it

It's kind of hard to see the small pictures on here, so you can go to jcp.com and type in Sophie bedding in the search field and pull it up. You can look at everything up close on the site.

One more thing...Congratulations Jamie and Lance for their new addition today. Alli Posey Hancock was born around 1:30 this afternoon. She weighed 6 lbs 13 ozs and is 19 1/2 inches long. She has strawberry blonde hair and is precious (ok, I've only seen pics, but I know she's precious). Jamie and Alli are doing GREAT! I stole a picture off Jamie's blog for you to see!


I hope everyone has a great Friday tomorrow and fabulous weekend!!

About stinking time! J/K! I love the belly picks. My favorite line of your whole post is "If you hate it, don't tell me because I don't care." That's so perfect. It drives me crazy when people give me a negative opinion of the name we've chosen. Yea for kicks. I love them, and I'm sure they'll be getting stronger and more frequent very soon. So exciting!
