For those who haven't heard yet. :D


We are beyond excited!!!!  We DID think it was a boy, for no real reason at all, but we are still absolutely delighted to have a DAUGHTER!!!  A baby girl...A lil' lady...A funny female...A darling damsel...and you get the point. Havin' a girl. Very happy. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) <======  See?  Happy.


We have decided to name her Penelope Cate (nickname: Penny)  We chose it simply because we like the sound of it.  In case you are wondering about the meaning, I've researched it and here is what I found:


Penelope: Greek in origin. Meaning duck / weaver (yes, duck and weaver). In Homer's epic the 'Odyssey' this is the name of the wife of Odysseus, forced to fend off suitors while her husband is away fighting at Troy. She is considered very brave, loyal and clever. (the last part about the Greek myth was a selling point to...pretty cool.)


Cate: Greekin origin. Meaning pure.

Can't wait to meet her!

my time has come...

FINALLY! A baby bump!

Bebe on the move

I think I felt the baby move! 

I keep hearing how every woman, especially first time moms, when they first feel it convince themselves that it's probably some other non-exciting pregnancy sensations and then it gets stronger each month and they realize that it was the baby moving all along!  Well, I THINK I've felt the baby moving the past few days but it's so subtle that I convince myself that it can't be the baby moving and it's one of those non-exciting pregnancy sensations. JUST like all the other mommies-to-be!  Imagine that.  So I've decided to just accept that it's probably the baby moving (and even if it's not...you guys won't know...you can't feel it! ha!) And it's so super duper exciting! It's not been like anyone else has described it (popcorn, butterflies, rollercoaster etc.)...but no one describes it the same way so there ya go. I think this is the only time in my life where I will voluntarily sit in silence doing nothing, when I just sit and focus on the baby moving (or sit and focus on how much I want the baby to be moving.)  

It's amazing what I can do as a woman!!!  My body is awesome!!!

Only 3 days until we have our first ultrasound!!! Pray that baby bell pepper (I have a pregnancy app on my smart phone and it describes the size of the bebe by comparing it to foods that are approximately the same size...this week it's a bell pepper!) is positioned appropriately (aka what will be INappropriately outside of the womb...aka showing off his/her genitals!)

I'll keep you updated.

One last note:  I really need to get some  pregnancy photos up...huh?
