Sweet Baby D

Well, here she is in all her glory! Baby D. Scheduled to make her grand entrance sometime around May 19. (I'm going to make an executive decision here and change that to May 25 when my kids are out of school). We are open to name suggestions for sure. This alphabet naming system seemed like a good idea at first but it's a little bit stressful at times. Ok not really but maybe it would be if we actually sat down and talked about names from time to time. However, my husband is never here and when he is he is either asleep or awake but not really. Anyway, here are some pictures. I realize that they are probably the worst ultrasound pictures you've ever seen and this is why-- the child does not sit still for even a second. Not like "wow, she's moving her hands and feet a lot" kind of not sitting still. The kind where her head is going from my right side to my left side and back again non stop. Literally doing flips the entire time. The kind where the ultrasound tech (who has been doing this for a very long time) can't even get a picture of her face or profile. Not a picture at all. Well, one but it's blurry from her moving so much. Heaven help me. I don't think I ever felt Cate move once in utero unless I sat down, drank some orange juice and focused on feeling her move. Am I totally doomed?!?!


We're thrilled to be adding another sweet baby girl to our clan. To say we were shocked would be an understatement, we were all convinced it was a boy. But girls are so fun to dress! Don't ask me how I feel about it in 10 years when the hormones are raging. I was worried that Brooks would feel bad about not having a brother but this is the kid who is in a Primary class at church with 7 little girls and hasn't ever even mentioned being the only boy. His only concern was that the baby still gets to share a room with him because he hates being alone. And that I get him and Lewis some matching clothes since he has no one to match and I always love to match the girls. It's a deal. These 3 girls are super lucky to have him for a brother. He's such a lover.


And this one is going to wear me out if she keeps this sassy attitude up. She is cracking us up though with the things that she says now that she has started talking. Just since Christmas she has opened up and is talking up a storm.

Oh, and my little A is turning 8 at the end of the month. Can you even wrap your little mind around that? Cause I can't. It's almost too crazy. 8 is great and she will be baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on Jan. 30 after church. Family and friends near and far we would love to have you come and celebrate this wonderful occasion with us!
