Just for kicks....

So the coolest thing happened this week. Ebie has been saying for a couple of weeks that she has been feeling the baby flutter. The past week our little one has been taking kung-fu lessons or something; it is so fun! I was able to feel the baby really well for the first time the other night. It was kicking away at my hand every time I would push down on Ebie's belly. So much fun....Just for kicks...I figured I would attach pics of the baby room prep!

Belly shot...

~Here you go Mickey!~

So here is a picture of my belly/ our growing baby!              We were doing P90x in our living room and my Mother in law was laughing at me working out w/ my bump bouncing around. Working out, I used to have a solid plank, now I think it looks like sagging lumber! 

           The same morning we took this photo, Austin was able to feel little Cletus the fetus kick! It was doing "Kempo Karate" on my navel! My guess is that this little one will have Austin's personality... because most of the time it's just chilin', but when it takes action it goes ALL OUT! 

          We'll put up pics of the developing nursery soon... it's coming along and looks great so far.

Baby names!!!

     In addition to not finding out the gender, Austin was wanting to keep our prospective names a secret. We decided on the names about a month ago and it has been driving me mad to not share them. Today I finally convinced Austin that the gender surprise would be monumental enough by itself. Plus, I'm so over coming up with other names that we're thinking about when we already really know! 

     Okay, enough prefacing... If it's a boy his name will be, William Henry (William being Austin's name as well as his grandfather's, and Henry being my grand father's name) and we'll probably call him "Will." If it's a girl she will be named, Blakely Jewel (I got the 1st name from celebrity Blake Lively- I just liked the name, I know nothing about her as a person- and Jewel was Austin's great grandmother's name) and we will call her "Blake."

     So there it is... I feel much better now!
