23 weeks, and counting.

Everyone loves a self-portrait, right?

I hit the 23 week mark last Tuesday and decided to snap this little beauty.

This pregnancy has been about the same as my other two. Easy. I do however feel older. Let's face it, the last time I was pregnant I was 21. Little Cinna (that nickname deemed by friends waiting to see if she was a cinnabun, or hot dog) Has been pretty good to me. Starting moving around at 17 weeks, and now she's a full blown kicker. The first time Dyson felt her move it freaked him out! He pulled his hand away so fast! The look on his face was priceless. The boys are super excited for their little sis to join the family Dyson even stopped by a garage sale and bought some car seat covers. (bless his heart, isn't that sweet?) We are having family debates and discussions on this little lady's name. Each having our own idea. Here are the top four.

(no negative comments on any of these, one will most likely be what you will be calling her.)


Lynn: Lennon

Jenni: Josslyn

Dyson: Hazel

Colby: Emery


Middle name is set on Jean, after my grandma Reid. Her name was Dorothy Jean. I think it fits well with any of the above.

We have ordered and received the crib, crib bedding, dresser and changing table. We will still wait a bit to set it up and get her room ready. (getting her room ready means me moving my office into my closet!) I know I am so thrilled and beyond excited for this new chapter in our family's lives. She will be so loved, and I'm guessing spoiled. The huge age gap has had me worried on how Lynn and I will adjust, but guess what? That fear is gone, we are ready and waiting! Thank you all for being so excited for us. Means so so much!

Pretty darn excited for Cinna to make her debut! How special for her to have TWO older brothers. A girl needs an older brother(s) to look out for her. Cute self portrait!

Love the self portrait/belly shot. It's an absolute must to document for us readers.

I love the name Emery with my whole heart... loved it the second I read it.
